Multiple Sleep Latency Test is done to check excessive daytime sleepiness by measuring how quickly you fall asleep in a quiet environment during the day. Also known as a daytime nap study, the MSLT is used to diagnose narcolepsy and hypersomnia.

How to prepare for the Multiple Sleep Latency Test? (One to Two weeks before the MSLT)

Ans- There are some instructions that the patient needs to follow before he proceeds for MSLT:
1. Keep a sleep diary for two weeks and attempt to maintain a regular sleep schedule, This will allow the doctor to see your sleep patterns.

2. Decrease caffeine

3. If you are on any medications, your doctor will help you to determine when you can use your medications before the MSLT.

4. Some medications may need to be discontinued for a week before the test.

If you find any of your loved ones having sleep issues with excessive daytime sleepiness then do meet a sleep specialist.
