True
Narcolepsy is an illness where a person constantly wants to sleep.
Infact verdict: True (86/100).
The claim that narcolepsy is an illness where a person constantly wants to sleep is mostly accurate. Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and involuntary sleep attacks, as confirmed by reliable sources such as the Better Health Channel and the NHS. These sources describe narcolepsy as causing significant sleepiness and sudden sleep episodes, but not necessarily a constant desire to sleep. Therefore, the claim is somewhat simplified but generally true.
