Interventions: A polysomnogram and Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) were performed in each subject.
The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were performed too.
Introduction: According to its guidelines, the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) should be performed following an all-night polysomnography (PSG).
9. Narcolepsy can easily be diagnosed using a test called an MSLT (Multiple Sleep Latency Test), available in most sleep centers.
All patients were recorded for at least one night followed by the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) the next day consisting of five naps scheduled at 2-h intervals starting at 9 00 h [21].
All subjects with narcolepsy reported clear symptoms of cataplexy, triggered by typical emotions such as laughing and joking, a positive Multiple Sleep Latency Test and met diagnostic criteria for narcolepsy (with cataplexy), as defined by the revised International Classification for Sleep Disorders [25].
PSG = polysomnography, MSLT = Multiple Sleep Latency Test The questionnairse asked subjects to estimate the amount of sleep they typically obtained each night over the past six months.
A subset of meditators also underwent Multiple Sleep Latency Tests, to look for day-time sleepiness, and did not display any evidence of sleep debt (mean sleep latency being 18.25 minutes, above population norms).
Using the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), we sought to objectively confirm whether patients with DLB have a greater propensity to fall asleep in a permissive setting compared to patients with AD dementia.
The relationships between motor phenomena scores, age at narcolepsy with cataplexy onset, disease duration, sleepiness severity at Multiple Sleep Latency Test (sleep latency, number of sleep-onset REM periods), CSF hypocretin-1 and plasma anti-streptolysin O values were assessed using Spearman's correlation analysis.
On the night of a HD treatment day (i.e., 6 to 12 hours post treatment), all subjects were asked to complete brief nocturnal and daytime sleep questionnaires and to undergo one night of laboratory-based nocturnal polysomnography (PSG) followed by a daytime PSG nap study (Multiple Sleep Latency Test; MSLT).
