Question

The exercise-induced form of this condition is marked by a long SOL, which may be tested (-5[1])for at home via a technique developed by Nathaniel Kleitman. Patients with this condition present with high scores on its namesake “Athens Scale.” Individuals who believe they have this condition may instead have SSM and inaccurately report a higher value of a quantity that may be measured via an MSLT. One form of this condition is marked by decreased glucose uptake by the thalamus, due to the presence of a methionine codon in PRNP. That prion-forming disease (10[1])is the “fatal (10[2])familial” (10[4])form (10[6])of this condition. (10[4])Medications that treat this condition include Daridorexant (“DAR-id-doh-REX-unt”) and Ramelteon (“ruh-MEL-tee-on”), which respectively act as an antagonist for orexin and an agonist for (-5[1])melatonin. For 10 points, name this condition characterized by an inability to sleep. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])
