Narcolepsy is a rare lifelong neurological disorder that affects the natural cycles of sleeping and waking. It is characterized by excessive sleepiness during the day. This rare disease affects 2–5 out of every 10,000 people. No cure of the disease is currently possible. 

This year World Narcolepsy Day takes place on Sep 22 and is dedicated to raising awareness of this condition on a global level. The aim is to increase public knowledge about narcolepsy, inspire action and reduce stigma towards those who are affected!
