Description
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “walking through peanut butter” or had your knees buckle during a laugh, you’re seeing the hidden spectrum of Narcolepsy. This infographic illustrates how Cataplexy and Sleep Paralysis manifest across four levels of severity: Minimal, Moderate, and Severe. It highlights that Cataplexy can be as subtle as losing facial expression or as intense as a full collapse triggered by emotion. Similarly, it redefines Sleep Paralysis not just as waking up “frozen,” but as a spectrum that includes “Sleep Inertia” (lingering heaviness) and “Sleep Drunkenness” (staggering disorientation). This visual tool is designed to help you realize that your symptoms are valid medical events, even when they are invisible to others.
