Narcolepsy is a low prevalence disorder characterised by uncontrollable daytime sleepiness (sometimes accompanied by night-time insomnia). In addition, sufferers may experience extreme muscle weakness particularly when excited by something and may also experience hallucinations. In severe cases this disorder is as disabling as quadraplegia.
