Narcolepsy is a complex diagnosis and made on the basis of symptoms and often several sleep studies to exclude other sleep disorders and daytime testing.
The symptoms vary, but usually there is daytime sleepiness, to the extent that people are unable to stay awake, they may have collapses during the day, vivid day dreams and sleep difficulties.
