CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz assess?
It asks about symptoms sometimes linked to narcolepsy, including daytime sleepiness, cataplexy-like weakness, sleep paralysis, vivid dreamlike experiences near sleep, disrupted nighttime sleep, and safety risks. It is intended for reflection, not diagnosis.
What time period should responses cover?
Answer based on the past three months when possible. If symptoms vary, select the option that best matches the usual pattern.
How long does it take and how many questions are included?
It typically takes about 10 minutes. It includes 15 questions.
Does a high score confirm narcolepsy?
No; there is no validated cutoff in this quiz and results cannot confirm or rule out any condition. Similar symptoms can occur with sleep deprivation, shift work, sleep apnea, medication effects, mental health conditions, and other medical problems.
What should be done if results are concerning or safety is an issue?
Discuss concerning results with a sleep specialist or other clinician. If staying awake is difficult, do not drive or operate machinery, and seek urgent help after a serious injury, breathing difficulty, or another immediate emergency.
