Narcolepsy symptoms might be mistaken for those of a number of other illnesses. Unrefreshing sleep and increased daytime tiredness are common symptoms of sleep apnea. Prolonged sleep without the abrupt sleep bouts characteristic of narcolepsy is the outcome of idiopathic hypersomnia. Persistent fatigue can also be caused by thyroid issues, depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Sleepiness that seems to be narcolepsy may be caused by some drugs and bad sleeping habits. Modvigil 200 and other wakefulness-promoting medications are used by some people to combat fatigue, but only a thorough sleep study and medical examination can reliably differentiate narcolepsy from other medical or sleep issues for safe, efficient therapy.
