A member asked:
Couldn't sleep in mslt- had short dreams/auditory hallucinations before being jolted awake when drifting off. was the test basically a total waste?

Not necessarily: The fact that you had dreams during an MSLT is, by itself, unusual and help your doctor make the diagnosis of narcolepsy or a different sleep disorder. Most people do not dream during the short naps associated with the MSLT. When people do dream, it can be suggestive of sleep onset REM/ I would discuss this with your family doctor or your sleep physician.

Depends on results: would probably depend on what the results of your overnight PSG were that directly preceded your MSLT. Also often times we may perceive that we did not sleep or did not have an adequate study, but the study results may suggest otherwise. Just wait until you can go back in to discuss the results with your sleep specialist. They would be able to evaluate your results and give you the appropriate ans
