Cataplexy emotion-enduced reflex muscular atonia, which spares respiratory muscles. Laughter is the most common inducer

Narcolepsy is characterized by the classic tetrad of excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. Note that this tetrad is seen only rarely in children.
