Manche Menschen bekommen es fr\u00fcher und andere sp\u00e4ter.

People with narcolepsy sometimes fall asleep all of a sudden, even when they don&#8217;t expect to. They can even fall asleep while they are in the middle of activities, such as eating, talking, or driving.<\/p>\n<p>People usually develop narcolepsy during their teens or early 20s. Some people get it earlier and others later. Once it starts, the disorder can make it hard to work, do schoolwork, or do other normal activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the symptoms of narcolepsy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The symptoms can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Feeling sleepy during the day<\/li>\n<li>Falling asleep all of a sudden, often at inappropriate times \u2013 Some people call these &#8222;sleep attacks.&#8220;<\/li>\n<li>Suddenly falling down, going limp, or feeling weak, especially when excited, angry, or laughing \u2013 The medical term for this is &#8222;cataplexy.&#8220;<\/li>\n<li>Being unable to move or speak in the few moments right after waking or just before falling asleep<\/li>\n<li>Seeing, feeling, or hearing things that are not really there in the few moments before falling asleep or right after waking up \u2013 This can be scary and feel very real.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Should I see a doctor?<\/strong>Yes, if you have symptoms of narcolepsy, see your doctor or nurse. The symptoms can be dangerous if they happen while you are driving or doing something that could lead to a fall or injury.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will I need tests?<\/strong>Yes. If your doctor or nurse suspects you have narcolepsy, they might send you for a &#8222;sleep study.&#8220; For the study, you go to a sleep lab where you are hooked up to different machines that monitor your heart rate, breathing, brain activity, and movements while you sleep at night. Several hours after the sleep study is done, another test is done in which the lights are dimmed and you are given privacy and asked to try napping several times.<\/p>\n<p>People with narcolepsy have abnormal sleep patterns during naps and at night. These abnormal patterns can be detected during the studies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How is narcolepsy treated?<\/strong>Narcolepsy is usually treated with behavior changes and medicines. People with the disorder should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid medicines that can make people sleepy, such as some allergy medicines<\/li>\n<li>Take naps just before important events and at scheduled times during the day<\/li>\n<li>Keep a regular sleep schedule<\/li>\n<li>Make sure they get enough sleep at night<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>People who are still very sleepy even if they make these changes can be treated with medicines to help them stay awake. These medicines can help, but even with treatment, people can still feel sleepy. That&#8217;s why even people who are being treated have to be careful about the activities they do. Driving, for example, can be dangerous for people with narcolepsy.<\/p>\n<p>The medicines used to help people stay awake can sometimes cause high blood pressure, decreased appetite, and other problems. If your doctor prescribes one of these medicines, make sure you understand the risks.<\/p>\n<p>People who have muscle weakness or go limp when they feel strong emotions can get medicines to help with that problem, too.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-informativ"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neurologie-afradi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neurologie-afradi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neurologie-afradi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neurologie-afradi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neurologie-afradi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/neurologie-afradi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neurologie-afradi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neurologie-afradi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neurologie-afradi.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
