Response to “High fatigue frequency in narcolepsy type 1 and type 2 in a Brazilian Sleep Center”

We thank Dr. Cremaschi and colleagues for their interest in our recent paper and recent report corroborating the association of obesity with narcolepsy from diagnosis over time (Cremaschi et al., [1]). We agree that fatigue is a significant comorbidity, distinct from excessive daytime sleepiness (Droogleever et al., [2]), which warrants clinical attention. Their present finding that fatigue is elevated in both narcolepsy type 1 and type 2 is intriguing and speaks to the importance of accurate symptom recognition.
