Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological sleep disorder that affects the brain’s ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. People with narcolepsy experience excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden “sleep attacks” that can occur at any time — even during activities like talking, eating, or driving. It can significantly impact daily life, work, and overall well-being if left untreated.

At APIC, we offer specialized evaluation and management of narcolepsy through advanced diagnostic methods, targeted therapies, and holistic care plans designed to restore alertness, improve sleep quality, and enhance quality of life.
