JacksonvilleSleepCenter

An uncommon use for Adderall is when they are affected by a chronic sleep disorder known as narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is caused by the shortage of a certain type of cell in the brain that produces a chemical called hypocretin, which is critical for an individual to regulate their sleep and wake cycle properly. Symptoms seen in narcolepsy include excessive sleepiness during the daytime, frequent hallucinations, disrupted nighttime sleep, sleep attacks, sleep paralysis, and cataplexy. Sleep attacks occur when an individual suddenly falls asleep when they are in the middle of everyday activities. Cataplexy is an episode where an individual experiences sudden weakness of the muscles as an abnormal response to strong emotion or heated situations. These symptoms have shown to be decreased in individuals who take Adderall at the beginning of their day. Adderall provides an increase in a neurotransmitter referred to as norepinephrine that helps keep an individual awake.
