It is my understanding that narcolepsy is a diagnosis of a sleep disorder, and not as a result of symptoms. Sleep studies are required and they rule out things like sleep apnea.

I have narcolepsy.

As my neurologist would say, self-reporting of sleep quality is magic and voodoo until the sleep study shows there is no deep sleep.

There is nothing else like Xyrem in terms of what makes a life-changing difference.
