Impaired Vigilance in Patients with Narcolepsy Type 1: A Psychomotor Vigilance Task Study
More severe sleepiness and an increased emotional burden could underlie the arousal and vigilance deficits seen in patients with NT1. We speculate that impaired vigilance in patients with NT1 is associated with abnormal brain function caused by a resource allocation imbalance related to hypothalamic orexin neuron damage, sleep inertia may also have a slight impact on this. Future studies should delve into this topic more deeply.
