Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Narcolepsy is characterized by sudden and uncontrollable episodes of sleep during normal waking periods. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as cataplexy (loss of muscle control), sleep paralysis, and hypnagogic hallucinations. Hypersomnia refers to excessive sleepiness, but does not necessarily involve sudden episodes of sleep. Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling or staying asleep. A lack of REM rebound refers to the absence of a normal increase in REM sleep after a period of sleep deprivation or reduction.
