Question: Can narcolepsy affect learning and development in children.

Rachel Sharman answered on 14 Nov 2018:

Hi. We are still trying to work this out. Some studies say yes and some say now. Teachers definitely report that children with narcolepsy often struggle to reach their potential and stuggle in exams. Narcolepsy can make us really tired even if we arent having the typical sleep attack so the studies have all said its quite difficult to test learning in these children.
