Description

A roadmap to understanding the limitations of sleep testing and finding a clearer path to answers. This infographic highlights that the standard MSLT test misses nearly 30% of Narcolepsy cases, often due to the “Artificial Lab Effect” or medication interference. It explores modern diagnostic alternatives, such as home EEG monitoring, Orexin level testing, and genetic markers, while encouraging you to document your symptoms with video evidence. By understanding these flaws, you can work more effectively with specialists to ensure your clinical history is given the weight it deserves.
