Is it also a symptom of narcolepsy that children love their tongues?

Most narcolepsy patients have sudden and uncontrollable sleep during the day, which is characterized by repeated naps or short-term sleep (often lasting 10 ~ 30 minutes). It is most obvious in the case of monotony and static. It is of great diagnostic value that the symptoms of drowsiness are obviously relieved after a nap.

Sudden attack is a characteristic symptom of narcolepsy, which is a sudden and transient muscle weakness, often induced by emotional factors, most of which are excited emotions such as laughter, and a few are depressed emotions such as anger. Typical patients are conscious at the beginning of the attack, but they may have blurred vision or drooping eyelids, often bilateral, lasting for a few seconds, then their knees bend, their heads droop, their foreheads droop or their upper arms are weak. Often accompanied by ambiguity and silence. 3. Sleep paralysis

Sleep paralysis accounts for 20% ~ 50% of all patients, usually accompanied by hallucinations before going to sleep. Sleep paralysis is defined as a state in which voluntary movement cannot be performed temporarily at the beginning of sleep or for several seconds or minutes after sleep. This episode can usually be terminated by mild stimulation, such as when someone touches a limb or talks to a patient. At this time, although patients are conscious, they are weak or unable to move, and a few patients can still persist for several minutes after waking up and struggling hard.

4. hallucinations before going to sleep

Narcolepsy patients often have auditory or visual abnormalities when they fall asleep or are about to wake up. That is, the illusion during the transition from sleep to awakening. These hallucinations are usually unpleasant, usually accompanied by fear and threats. What happens at the beginning of sleep is called bedtime illusion, and what happens when you wake up is called semi-awakening illusion. Hallucinations usually contain visual, auditory and tactile components, which are often complex and vivid experiences similar to dreams, and may also be accompanied by cataplexy and sleep paralysis, but awareness of the external environment usually exists.
