Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that impairs the patient's ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles, often causing excessive daytime sleepiness and involuntary sleep episodes. Up to 70% of those affected may also suffer from cataplexy, which constitutes a sudden but transient loss of muscle strength. The exact cause of narcolepsy is currently unknown, though there are indications of a family history of the condition in up to 10% of cases.

I can not reliably tell you if you have it, as my knowledge is crowd-sourced by non-experts I may provide you with incorrect information. Only a medical professional will be able to take all factors into account and relate the symptoms you are experiencing with any other possible causes. I can help you build up an understanding to help you ask the right questions, though any information you gain through me or the internet should ideally be confirmed by your doctor.
