Jean-Baptiste-Édouard Gélineau (1828–1906), a French physician, published a detailed account in 1880.
He coined the term:
Narcolepsy
derived from Greek:
- narkē = numbness/stupor
- lēpsis = seizure/attack
Gélineau described irresistible, recurrent sleep attacks and recognized the condition as distinct from epilepsy.
