There are two main types of narcolepsy: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 narcolepsy used to be known as “narcolepsy with cataplexy.” Type 2 used to be called “narcolepsy withoutcataplexy.” In very rare cases, a person may develop another type of narcolepsy known as secondary narcolepsy.
In narcolepsy without cataplexy, the main symptom is sudden sleepiness. A number of medications can help a person stay awake. Most doctors recommend trying modafinil (Provigil) or armodafinil first. The second-line treatment is amphetamine-like stimulant drugs, such as methylphenidate.

People with narcolepsy wake up often during the night and are extremely tired during the day. They may have attacks where they suddenly fall asleep in the daytime. Some people with narcolepsy also have cataplexy — episodes of muscle weakness that are triggered by strong emotions such as laughter, surprise, or crying.
Some of the characteristics of narcolepsy — such as cataplexy, sleep paralysis and hallucinations — are similar to changes that occur in REM sleep, but instead, they occur during wakefulness or drowsiness.

Narcolepsy is a rare condition that causes attacks of severe sleepiness, which can happen at any time. Some people also experience a sudden loss of muscle tone, which is known as cataplexy. In contrast, sleep apnea is a common condition that causes a person's breathing to stop and start during sleep.
Summary. A person with narcolepsy is extremely sleepy all the time and, in severe cases, falls asleep involuntarily several times every day. Narcolepsy is caused by a malfunction in a brain structure called the hypothalamus. Mild cases of narcolepsy can be managed with regular naps, while severe cases need medication.
Narcolepsy is often misdiagnosed as other conditions that can have similar symptoms, including:Depression.Anxiety.Other psychologic/psychiatric disorders.Insomnia.Obstructive sleep apnea.
