Do narcolepsy medications interfere with nighttime sleep quality?

Narcolepsy medications, particularly oxybate, are designed to help improve sleep quality at night. According to the studies, oxybate can reduce nighttime sleep disruptions, which means it helps people with narcolepsy sleep better through the night.

• Oxybate Dosing: Different doses and how often you take oxybate can affect how well it works. The right dose can make nighttime sleep more restful.
• Effects on Sleep: Research shows that oxybate can make sleep less disrupted, meaning fewer times waking up during the night.

For people with narcolepsy, getting good sleep at night is important because it can help them feel more awake during the day. If you have concerns about sleep or narcolepsy, it is important to talk to a healthcare professional.
