Cataplexy, or sudden emotional muscle weakness, is not a feature of type 2 narcolepsy, a chronic sleep disease marked by excessive daytime sleepiness. Patients with Type 2 narcolepsy typically have normal levels of hypocretin, a brain chemical that controls alertness, in contrast to those with Type 1 narcolepsy.
