World Narcolepsy Day is celebrated annually on September 22nd
World Narcolepsy Day is celebrated annually on September 22nd . This date aims to raise awareness about narcolepsy, a chronic neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to regulate sleep and wake cycles. Narcolepsy can cause excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep episodes, as well as other symptoms such as cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle strength), sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations. This day is an opportunity to improve the quality of life of people affected by narcolepsy and to promote greater recognition of the condition in society.
