After battling tears
through a series of straightforward health and lifestyle - related questions and a brief
physical examination, the doctor gave me information on a nearby lab and instructed me to make appointments for a Polysomnogram and Multiple Sleep Latency Test or MSLT, the most effective methods for diagnosing narcolepsy while simultaneously ruling out other more common
disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea.While I slept, what seemed like tons of tiny electrodes monitored my brain waves, eye movement, heart rate and muscle
activity.
