Yes, sleeping sickness is treatable, but the patient needs to be followed up for relapses, as treatment is not always successful. Some of the damage to the brain (which occurs in the later stages) can't be reversed.

Pentamidine or suramin are usually used. Melarsoprol (toxic) and eflornithine (not easily available) can be used as well.
