I have been treated for two severe sleeping disorders- sleep apnea and idiopathic hypersomnia- and through that I learned that you can't be "cured" of either of these conditions. Are you no longer treated?
I have a CPap for my sleep apnea and I was on medication for the hypersomnia, but chose to go off it and deal with it in a different method. Narcolepsy is not really about sleep as much as it is about the brain's way of sleeping.
Anyway, I am ranting I just remember all the crazy test I have been through and although it isn't always easy, if you think you or someone you know may have any sleep disorder have them get help- it can increase your quality of life!
