Meds to increase SWS & decrease REM

Posted by j on November 27, 2002 at 11:58:49:

From what I understand, one of the effects of Narcolepsy is too much REM sleep at night and not even slow wave/deep sleep. I was just browsing the web and came across a page which listed hypnotic medications and their effects. Apparently, there are medications that increase slow wave sleep and decrease REM. I'm just wondering if there are any medications such as these that are used to treat narcolepsy. The link I found is here:
