A member asked:
In narcolepsy, does daytime sleepiness happen randomly during the day, or it has a periodical time of onset (for example around 3:00 pm every day)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes: answer to your question is both. Can be sporadic as well as routine EDS and even sleep attacks. Please see a sleep specialist for assessment and treatment.
