Specialist assessment is appropriate when excessive daytime sleepiness is persistent, sleep episodes are difficult to control, cataplexy is suspected or symptoms remain unexplained after basic evaluation.
The specialist reviews the full sleep history, sleep schedule, medicines, possible alternative causes and the pattern of symptoms. Objective tests are selected only when they are clinically indicated.
If the initial assessment suggests narcolepsy or another hypersomnolence disorder, investigations such as overnight polysomnography and an MSLT can be organised at the Sleep Lab in Casablanca.
Patients outside Morocco can begin with an online consultation. If testing is needed, the next steps can then be planned before travel so that the visit to Casablanca is focused and organised.
