Helping the patient cover his disability is probably dangerous to him and his fellow soldiers. Narcolepsy after TBI is atypical but does occur (3). Narcolepsy is diagnosed by an MSLT. The MSLT is a full-day test that consists of five scheduled naps separated by two-hour breaks. This test is always done following a sleep study. The MSLT showed mean sleep onset latency (SOL) of 3.8 minutes. The patient had 2 sleep-onset rapid eye movement periods (SOREMPS) with a mean REM latency of 2 minutes.
