Measurement of narcolepsy symptoms: the narcolepsy severity scale [PDF]

open access: yesSleep Medicine, 2017
To validate the Narcolepsy Severity Scale (NSS), a brief clinical instrument to evaluate the severity and consequences of symptoms in patients with narcolepsy type 1 (NT1).A 15-item scale to assess the frequency and severity of excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and disrupted nighttime sleep was ...

Narcolepsy and rapid eye movement sleep

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Since the first description of narcolepsy at the end of the 19th Century, great progress has been made. The disease is nowadays distinguished as narcolepsy type 1 and type 2. In the 1960s, the discovery of rapid eye movement sleep at sleep onset led to improved understanding of core sleep‐related disease symptoms of the disease (excessive ...

Ageing‐related modification of sleep and breathing in orexin‐knockout narcoleptic mice

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Narcolepsy type‐1 (NT1) is a lifelong sleep disease, characterised by impairment of the orexinergic system, with a typical onset during adolescence and young adulthood. Since the wake–sleep cycle physiologically changes with ageing, this study aims to compare sleep patterns between orexin‐knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) control mice at ...

Profiling the sleep architecture of ageing adults using a seven‐state continuous‐time Markov model

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Sleep is a complex biological process regulated by networks of neurons and environmental factors. As one falls asleep, neurotransmitters from sleep–wake regulating neurones work in synergy to control the switching of different sleep states throughout the night. As sleep disorders or underlying neuropathology can manifest as irregular switching,

The Effects of Daridorexant on Patients With Comorbid Insomnia Disorder and Untreated Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: A Post Hoc Subgroup Analysis of a Phase 3, Randomised Clinical Trial

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Daridorexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist, is approved for the treatment of insomnia disorder in adults. Approximately 30%–35% of patients with insomnia disorder also have obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) of any severity. It is unclear whether sleep medications provide safe and effective treatment for insomnia in these patients.
