Can stress and anxiety cause narcolepsy?

[MillerStock 0]

Stress and anxiety are not direct causes of narcolepsy, but they can worsen the symptoms of this sleep disorder. Narcolepsy is primarily caused by a malfunction in the brain's ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles, often associated with the loss of hypocretin, a neurotransmitter that promotes wakefulness. However, stress and anxiety can cause or worsen symptoms, such as excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy (sudden muscle weakness), and disturbed sleep at night. In people already Predisposed to narcolepsy, high levels of stress and anxiety can also disrupt sleep patterns, making the condition more difficult to manage. Stress management is important to control symptoms.
