OBJECTIVES: To compare the biogenetic temperament and character patterns of subjects with narcolepsy and those of healthy control subjects. METHODS: Twenty-two subjects with narcolepsy, diagnosed with the International Classification of Sleep Disorder (ICSD) criteria, and 22 healthy control subjects were recruited. The Korean version of the Temperament and Character Inventory was administered to all subjects. RESULTS: Compared to healthy control subjects, subjects with narcolepsy showed significantly higher Novelty-Seeking (ANCOVA, F=5.42, p=0.025), lower Persistence (F=8.41, p=0.006) and lower Self-Directedness scores (F=4.70, p=0.036). CONCLUSION: Narcoleptic patients have a distinct pattern of biogenetic temperament and character. Our findings suggest that narcoleptic patients are exploratory in response to novelty but give up easily. In addition, our findings show that narcoleptic patients consider themselves ineffective, purposeless, and fragile.

7.A Case of Narcolepsy
Journal of the Japanese Association of Rural Medicine 2004;53(6):962-965
A 20-years-old man was referred to our hospital in September 2003. He complained of fatigue and headache at the time of getting up, daytime sleepiness, sudden sleep attacks and dozing off at the wheel. He became aware of insomnia at night and severe sleepiness in the daytime at the age of 13. Since he was 17 years old, he had been seized with an uncontrollable desire for sleep. The total night's sleep has often been reduced to two hours at the longest, interrupted by arousal 10 times (maximal) since he got a job. His Epworth Sleepiness Scale was 13 points. In polysomnography, the first REM period occurred immediately after onset of sleep, and the apnea-hypopnea index was 1.0 per hour. In multiple sleep latency tests, his sleep latency and REM latency were less than 2 minutes. The sleep onset REM period was found in all sessions of MSLT. HLA-DR2 and HLA-DQ1 were positive. His case was diagnosed as narcolepsy, and methylphenidate was taken in the morning and at noon, and naps were taken in the morning and in the afternoon, and the sleep diary was started. The times of daytime's naps and sleep attacks decreased, and his condition was improved.

Narcolepsy is a serious, lifelong, disabling disorder characterized by a tetrad of symptoms including excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucination, and sleep paralysis. We experienced a 14 year old boy with a narcolepsy diagnosed by typical clinical symptoms above mentioned and multiple sleep latency test. A brief review of the related literatures was also made.

INTRODUCTION: It has been proposed that narcolepsy and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) have overlapped symptom profile and pathophysiology. This study was aimed at measuring and comparing changes in EEG frequency band of REM sleep in narcolepsy and RBD, applying EEG spectral analysis method. METHODS: Nine patients diagnosed as narcolepsy and the same number of RBD patients were studied. Spectral analysis of the REM sleep EEG was performed in each patient on 9 epochs selected evenly from the first, second, and third REM periods. Then, we compared frequency band percentages of REM sleep EEG in narcolepsy and RBD. RESULTS: Narcolepsy patients had significantly higher delta frequency ratio than RBD ones (p=0.00). In alpha and beta2 frequency bands, RBD patients showed higher percentage than narcolepsy ones. Slow wave sleep was more prevalent in narcolepsy patients. But, no difference of REM sleep percentage was found between the two groups (p=0.93). CONCLUSION: Higher delta frequency ratio in REM sleep of narcolepsy patients than RBD ones reflects that sleep-promoting mechanism is more dominant in narcolepsy than in RBD.

The case of a 19-year-old man with coexistent narcolepsy and psychotic symptoms was presented. The psychotic symptoms were induced and / or exacerbated by methylphenidate. In addition, they were considered as symptoms of schizophrenia which had been developed regardless of the use of methylphenidate. The case illustrates the difficulties in diagnosing and treating, in particular, pharmacotherapy.
