Narcolepsy is related to the deep, dreaming part of sleep known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Normally when people fall asleep, they experience 90 minutes of non-REM sleep, which is then followed by REM sleep. People with narcolepsy, however, enter REM sleep immediately. In addition, REM sleep occurs inappropriately throughout the day.
Obesity and overweight are risk factors for Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke, and other effects include cancer at various sites, gallstones, narcolepsy, asthma, cataracts and musculo-skeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis.
