What are two triggers for narcolepsy?
Genetic susceptibility and autoimmune responses are two prominent causes of narcolepsy. Certain people may be more vulnerable due to genetics, particularly those who have certain HLA gene variations. The brain’s hypocretin-producing neurons may be harmed by autoimmune responses, which would interfere with sleep-wake control. Infections, stress, and abrupt changes in lifestyle can all exacerbate symptoms. Excessive daily tiredness, abrupt sleep bouts, and cataplexy are the hallmarks of narcolepsy. To assist control drowsiness, modafinil, a medication that promotes alertness, is frequently used as part of treatment.
