  • Narcolepsy: why you’ve been thinking about it all wrong

    Narcolepsy: why you’ve been thinking about it all wrong
    Oct 6 2026
    The sleep disorder has been the butt of jokes and a comedic plot point, but the reality of living with narcolepsy is anything but funny. Things could be about to change for people with the condition though, after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first ever drug to treat narcolepsy itself, rather than just its symptoms. Madeleine Finlay tells Ian Sample how the scientific breakthrough came about, and Julie Flygare, who has narcolepsy and founded the non-profit Project Sleep, explains what it is like to live with the condition and how the drug could be gamechanger.

Russia’s health watchdog has said she died of ‘pneumonia of unknown aetiology’, but there is speculation about a possible plague infection. Science Weekly co-host Madeleine Finlay tells Today in Focus the Latest’s Lucy Hough how concerned we should be. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/sciencepod
