Type 1 is autoimmune. Recently lot of research and new case reports has been published because of the association with impaired cognitive ability, poor quality of life, and risk of work, home, and car accidents. It can affect children, adolescents and even elderly. FDA and EMA approved drugs are available. In this article all published literatures of 2020 regarding narcolepsy are reviewed.
