You really can't "prevent" narcolepsy. It has to derive from two sources however, one of them is genetics. The others could be an auto-immune disease, head trauma, pesticide poisoning, etc.
I would look at your family history, if someone in your family has been diagnosed with narcolepsy, or cataplexy you could develop it. I would also do a self analysis of your condition.
Are you constantly sleepy?
Do you fall asleep quickly while reading, watching television, riding or driving in a car?
Do you have trouble focusing and getting work done?
Those were some of my symptoms, I would wake up after sleeping 9 hours, be up and about for literally an hour and then would need to lay down again for a nap that sometimes lasted up to 6 hours. It was stressful.
Unfortunately there is no cure, but there are treatment options. I am on medication and it works like a dream!
If you think you have it, talk to your doctor about it, and schedule a sleep/day study stat!
Hope this helps!
