Detailed explanation-1: -There’s no specific cure for narcolepsy, but you can manage the symptoms and minimise their impact on your daily life. Making some simple changes to your sleeping habits can sometimes help. If your symptoms are more severe, you’ll usually need to take medicine.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is now generally accepted that narcolepsy is caused by the loss of cells (neurons) in the brain that produce hypocretin/orexin. As things stand, the loss of those cells is irreversible and so narcolepsy is a lifelong condition.

Detailed explanation-3: -No, there is not currently a cure available for narcolepsy. There are natural remedies for narcolepsy, such as guarana and cayenne pepper. More research is being conducted to study narcolepsy and try to develop a cure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Narcolepsy is a life-long condition for which there’s no cure. However, medicines and lifestyle changes can help manage the symptoms. Support from others-family, friends, employers and teachers-can help people cope with the disorder.
