Wysper, I would make a strong geuss as to yes with the sleeping, research excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).
As 2 your 2nd ? I dont know for sure abt the migraine connection for cataplexy, but I know I experience migraines now often, but for me the pain from the migraines is so intense that I wouldnt even notice if I was having a cataplexy attack. Maybe u can find out some info on the connection and share it. If I find some I will share. Another ? I wonder if ppl with cataplexy are more prone to the migraines??
From what I understand here r some factors.
Excessive Sleeping is a symptom of Narcolepsy
Cataplexy = u have to have Narc to have the cataplexy.
Not all Narc's have cataplexy
Peace & Sleep Well
Sammy
