Abstract
Narcolepsy is a disorder characterised by diurnal somnolence and episodes of short duration sleep. Cataplexy is frequently associated as are the symptoms of sleep paralysis, hypnagogic hallucinations and disordered night-time sleep. The condition has been recognised since the 19th century with many prominent late 19th and earl 20th century neurologists contributing to our knowledge of the condition. Recent research from sleep laboratories as well as laboratory research on hypocretins (oroxins) has led to a greater understanding of this debilitating condition.
