- DA sudden temperature drop
14Narcolepsy with cataplexy has a known cause: a loss of cells in the brain that secrete a hormone responsible for wakefulness called ...
- AHypocretin
- BHippocretin

16What is REM Behaviour Disorder (RBD)?
- AA disorder whereby people act out their dreams. The normal atonic nature of muscles during REM sleep is not present.
- BA disorder whereby people actively dream during the day. Like narcolepsy, this condition is also related to hypocretin levels in the brain.
- CA condition whereby an individual wakes up upon initiation of REM sleep, meaning they must sleep in smaller sections and can never get a full night's sleep.
