I experience irresistible sleep attacks during the day (Narcolepsy).

This is a brain disorder where individuals suddenly collapse into sleep during the day, even after getting sufficient sleep at night. The likelihood of it being narcolepsy is high if accompanied by 'cataplexy,' a sudden loss of muscle tone triggered by strong emotions like laughter or anger. It is caused by a deficiency in the wakefulness hormone (hypocretin).

단순히 의지가 약해서 조는 것이 아닙니다.

  • 안전: 운전이나 기계 조작 중 발작이 발생하면 매우 위험하므로, 정확한 진단과 약물 치료가 필수적입니다.
  • 체질: 한방에서는 머리를 맑게 해주는 총명탕 계열의 처방으로 각성 상태를 유지하도록 돕습니다.
💡 계획적 낮잠

점심시간 등을 활용해 15분 정도 짧게 낮잠을 자두면 오후의 졸음 발작을 예방하는 데 도움이 됩니다.
