Abstract
Narcolepsy although frequently beginning in childhood, is usually diagnosed in young adults. The diagnostic symptoms of narcolepsy are usually less ty pical in the young child, and sleep studies have not been standardized. We present a 12-month-old child with symptoms typical for narcolepsy who shows improvement with nonpharmacologic narcolepsy therapy.
