I wonder how many people who have non-manageable Tourette’s have an undiagnosed comorbidity like this.
Also, your specific case is interesting, because a comorbidity of a type of narcolepsy points more generally in the direction of an interesting cluster of sleep-related “parts of the brain’s sleep motor-inhibition filter turn on while others remain off” conditions, e.g. sleep-walking, sleep paralysis, etc. that — if it turns out a lot of other Tourette’s sufferers had [undiagnosed] comorbidities in this cluster — could potentially be a good fit for “recontextualizing” Tourette’s, or perhaps even finding a true etiology for it. Has anyone looked for these sorts of links, and/or studied Tourette’s from a sleep-neurology perspective?
