In a significant step toward understanding the profound impact of narcolepsy, the first findings from DIPEx Slovakia’s research module on the disorder have been evaluated and put down in a form of research article. The study provides an in-depth exploration of the complex symptomatology of narcolepsy, including excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, vivid dreams and nightmares, hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and automatic behavior.

What sets this research apart is its reliance on firsthand patient experiences, offering a deeply personal and nuanced perspective on life with this rare neurological sleep disorder. By amplifying the voices of those affected, the study captures not only the physical symptoms but also the emotional toll of living with narcolepsy—an often misunderstood and underdiagnosed condition.
