Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Nightmares (CBT-N) and targeted lucidity reactivation (TLR) in adults with narcolepsy who experience frequent nightmares.
  • Participants showed a significant reduction in nightmare frequency (from 8.38 to 2.25 per week) and improved overall sleep quality, with notable improvements in nightmare severity and related symptoms such as sleep paralysis.
  • The findings suggest that CBT-N and TLR could be beneficial treatments for managing nightmares in individuals with narcolepsy, highlighting the need for more focused clinical trials in this area.
