Hypnopompic hallucinations A characteristic symptom of narcolepsy that is marked by frightening dreamlike REM sleep experiences when waking up from sleep. Hypnotic An agent that induces sleep. Hypocretin-1 One of a pair of highly excititory neuropeptide hormones (the other being hypocretin-2) that are biosynthesized in the hypothalamus and are involved in the cause of narcolepsy-cataplexy.
