They feel tired during the day, but still find it difficult to sleep. Narcoleptic attacks can occur at any time. The level of sleepiness is putting your child at risk. No matter what activity your child is conducting, it may experience an narcoleptic attack. Another interesting fact is that children with narcolepsy don't have light sleep; they fall straight to deep sleep. The deep sleep phase in which the directly go to is REM (Rapid eye Movement). Children with narcolepsy can go to deep sleep at any time when they are awake. In some situations this can be very harmful for children with narcolepsy. Children with this kind of sleeping disorder find it hard-to-impossible to stay awake at random moments during the day. Narcolepsy in children isn't a lack of sleep; they might be sleeping the whole night and still be tired the next day. This is what we know as EDS (Excessive Day Sleep). Excessive Day Sleep is one symptom or narcolepsy in children. When someone falls asleep, they lose control over most of the body's muscles as they are resting. There is a condition in which this happens when they go out of sleep - cataplexy. Cataplexy is similar to sleep paralysis and happens into REM sleep. Some children are experiencing hallucinations when they are waking up from a sleep hypnopompic hallucinations. Hpnagogic hallucination is the same but when falling asleep. These hallucinations can include some other senses as well. Excessive Day Sleep, cataplexy, sleep paralysis and hallucinations are all symptoms of narcolepsy in children. Narcolepsy in children is not a night terror! If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, or your child is suffering from narcolepsy you should seek medical attention.
