Weight Gain Likely In Narcoleptics

If weight loss is a function of sleep, narcoleptics should be the skinniest folks in town.

People with narcolepsy are not only excessively sleepy, but they are also prone to gaining weight. In fact, narcoleptic patients will often pack on pounds even as they eat considerably less than your average person.

The need-more-sleep/weight gain connection is a red herring.
