See below: It is a clinical diagnosis, although sometimes lab tests can help. If you are having excessive daytime sleepiness, hallucinations when waking up or falling asleep, cataplexy (episode of muscle weakness without loss of awareness that is usually triggered by emotions), and/or sleep paralysis or even other symptoms, it can be narcolepsy. So if you do, see a sleep doctor to be evaluated ; treated.
