Narcolepsy often starts between the ages of 10 and 30, peaking in adolescence (ages 15 to 20) and early adulthood (ages 30 to 35). Excessive daily drowsiness is a common first symptom that might go undiagnosed for years. Later on, intense nightmares, cataplexy, and sleep paralysis may manifest. Narcolepsy can begin in childhood or later age, however it is less prevalent. Quality of life is enhanced by early diagnosis. The goal of treatment is to regulate symptoms, usually with the help of wake-promoting drugs like modvigil 200 mg, as well as regular naps and proper sleep hygiene, all under the supervision of a professional.
