Diagnosing narcolepsy typically involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and sleep studies, such as:
Polysomnography (PSG): An overnight sleep study that records various physiological parameters during sleep. Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT): A daytime test that measures how quickly a person falls asleep in a quiet environment. Genetic Testing: Can identify specific markers associated with narcolepsy, such as the HLA-DQB1*06:02 allele.
