No!
The only way is either you have a gene either you take some medication that can modify your health profile (such as hn1 flu vacination, that has been related to narcolepsy cases)

Narcolepsy is not at all contagious. It’s a neurological disorder that you’re either born with or it developes over time.

Narcolepsy is not contagious. It is not spread from person to person. It has to do with the immune system.
