Multiple Sleep Latency Test

The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) is a daytime study carried out after an overnight sleep study (polysomnography). It measures how quickly you fall asleep during the day and what stages of sleep you enter. By recording a series of scheduled naps, the test helps diagnose conditions such as narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia, providing valuable insight into excessive daytime sleepiness.
