Specializes in Psychiatry

Apnea or narcolepsy: Not being able to breathe of course is a symptom of apnea - either obstructive or central. Not being able to move is symptomatic of sleep paralysis. Many have episodes during their life but if recurrent signal narcolepsy.. Cataplexy (involuntary muscle weakness with intense emotion), hallucinations (visual, auditory, or olfactory) on awakening or falling asleep, and nap attacks fulfill criteria
