The cause of narcalepsy is not well known.  It is felt that there may be a genetic factor involved where the cells of the sleep center in the hypothalamus malfunction, so that abnormal sleep patterns result.  This problem of narcalepsy may start from teenage years or young adulthood, and become progressively worse.

Provigal is indicated in this condition because it is known to prevent the excessive sleepiness associated with narcalepsy.  Provigal causes the buildup of dopamine in the brain and this results in wakefulness.
