Sodium Oxybate
Used for narcolepsy, this medication is taken at bedtime and again a few hours later to consolidate nighttime sleep and dramatically reduce daytime episodes of sudden muscle weakness (cataplexy). It acts on the brain's GABA and GHB receptors to improve sleep architecture, and its use is tightly controlled due to its potential for misuse.
