Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder with prominent sleep attacks as a form of excessive daytime somnolence. The other associated features of narcolepsy occur with varying frequency. These include cataplexy, hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
