Can I Qualify for Life Insurance if I have Narcolepsy?
Yes, most individuals with Narcolepsy will be able to qualify for traditional life insurance, the type of insurance which requires a medical exam.
But you won’t be able to get this rating through your auto insurance company.
Best Case Scenario – Most cases of Narcolepsy are mild and with the right management can get a “Mild Substandard” rating. Provided, that symptoms of cataplexy, loss of consciousness or sudden muscle paralysis are controlled and do not impair the activities of daily living (ADL) of an individual.

How often do you experience the symptoms of Narcolepsy?
If symptoms occur less frequently and are mild in intensity, they will definitely get a “Mild Substandard” rating.
Are you taking any medication right now?
The need for medications to treat the symptoms of lack of sleep may be necessary for good control of the condition, and individuals who take them regularly may qualify for a “Mild Substandard” rating.
Do you know the primary cause of your Narcolepsy?
An individual who has full knowledge of his/her condition is a sign of good control, which may earn a “Mild Substandard” rating.
Do you have other medical conditions that may cause complications?
Other medical conditions such as heart ailment, metabolic condition or mental illness may influence the frequency of attacks, and may, therefore, need further evaluation.
If you don’t seem to fit into one of the ratings above, I recommend requesting life insurance quotes from “standard” to “severe standard” so you understand the range of possibilities.

Overview of Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological, mental or genetic condition characterized by an individual’s inability to regulate sleep and wakefulness. Individuals with Narcolepsy often experience disturbed night sleep pattern and an abnormal pattern of sleep even in daytime.
There are three specific symptoms of Narcolepsy called “narcolepsy tetrad” including (1) sudden muscle weakness without losing consciousness (cataplexy), (2) hallucinations while asleep (hypnogogic hallucinations) or awake (hypnopompic hallucinations), and (3) sleep paralysis upon awakening.
Other symptoms may also include memory problems, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), and an unusual fatigue during the day.
