Narcolepsy Diagnosis & Treatment in Dallas & McKinney
Our board-certified sleep specialists help patients manage narcolepsy symptoms with personalized care plans, advanced testing, and proven therapies.
What is Narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that disrupts your brain’s ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. It causes excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden sleep attacks, and in some cases, cataplexy — a sudden loss of muscle control.
Common Symptoms
- Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)
- Sudden, irresistible sleep episodes
- Cataplexy (muscle weakness triggered by emotions)
- Sleep paralysis
- Hallucinations during sleep transitions
Advanced Narcolepsy Testing
We use two gold-standard tests at our Dallas & McKinney clinics:
- Polysomnogram (PSG): Overnight monitoring of brain activity, heart rate, breathing, and muscle movement.
- Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT): Daytime test measuring how quickly you fall asleep and enter REM sleep.
Treatment Options
While there is no cure, our specialists create tailored treatment plans that may include:
- Prescription stimulants to improve alertness
- Nighttime sleep aids to improve rest quality
- Behavioral strategies such as scheduled naps and lifestyle adjustments
