Narcolepsy is another sleep disorder that has been studied epidemiologically. At the present time, its prevalence is between 25 and 50 people per 100 000 [18]. Currently, it is stated that narcolepsy has a similar prevalence to multiple sclerosis. A more current publication indicates that the prevalence is 1 for every 2000 people and it is estimated that about 50% may be undiagnosed [19]. Over the upcoming years more research will be done, and as more data is gathered the actual prevalence of Narcolepsy will be better defined and hence the recognition as well as management strategies should improve.
