Mind-wandering and daydreaming in narcolepsy and hypersomnia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia have different patterns of daydreaming and mind-wandering compared to others with sleepiness but no clear diagnosis. It helps understand how certain brain states during sleep might affect waking thoughts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows people with frequent daytime sleepiness (sometimes from narcolepsy or hypersomnia) and compares them with matched healthy people, including some with sleep apnea. The goal is to better understand what causes sleepiness and to improve how these conditions are recognized and measured.
This study explores how what you eat affects your sleepiness and nighttime sleep quality. Researchers want to learn more about these links in people with narcolepsy type 1 or idiopathic hypersomnia.
This study looks at how narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia affects thinking and cardiovascular health, and how usual treatment medications may change those outcomes. It may help researchers understand risks and benefits of common hypersomnia therapies.
This study looks at how people with type 1 narcolepsy understand their own and others' thoughts and feelings (called mentalizing). It compares them to people with treated sleep apnea to see if there are differences.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference to target the hypothalamus. It aims to help reduce excessive daytime sleepiness in people with narcolepsy type 1.
This study looks at how common sleep disorders affect children and teens. It may help us understand and treat conditions like poor sleep, tiredness during the day, and other sleep issues.
