“I would consider this relevant for clinicians who treat narcolepsy, but also those who are in primary care, to alert them to the variability of symptoms of narcolepsy, and symptoms occurring at a relatively young age. This publication underscores the need to have a keen eye out for young patients with daytime drowsiness, probing their symptoms (especially for cataplexy) to see if they could have the condition.”
