Is narcolepsy brain damage?
Low levels of hypocretin, a neurotransmitter that regulates sleep, are frequently connected to narcolepsy, a persistent neurological condition brought on by the brain's incapacity to appropriately control sleep-wake cycles. It produces excessive daytime drowsiness and disturbs regular sleep patterns, but it doesn't damage brain cells. Medication, planned naps, and lifestyle modifications can all help control symptoms. In order to assist patients in retaining normal daily functioning without addressing the underlying neurological reason, medications such as Modvigil 200 are frequently administered to increase alertness and decrease daytime sleepiness.
