Narcolepsy & Hypersomnia
It's not just 'being sleepy.' It is a neurological instability of the sleep-wake cycle. We provide the precise MSLT testing needed for potential disability support and advanced treatment.

The Diagnosis Gap
The average hypersomnia patient waits 10 years for a correct diagnosis. They are often dismissed as "lazy" or misdiagnosed with depression or ADHD. We listen. We test. We validate.
Narcolepsy (The Pentad)
1. Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
An overwhelming urge to sleep that strikes regardless of how much you slept.
2. Cataplexy (Muscle Weakness)
Knees buckling or jaw dropping triggered by emotions like laughter or surprise.
3. Sleep Paralysis
Inability to move or speak while falling asleep or waking up.
4. Hypnagogic Hallucinations
Vivid, often frightening dream-like experiences while falling asleep.
5. Fragmented Nighttime Sleep
Paradoxically, patients often wake up frequently during the night.
Idiopathic Hypersomnia
1. Prolonged Sleep Time
Sleeping 10-14+ hours per night but still waking up exhausted.
2. Sleep Drunkenness
Severe difficulty waking up. Alarm clocks are often unheard or turned off unconsciously.
3. Unrefreshing Naps
Unlike Narcolepsy (where naps help), naps in IH leave you feeling groggier.
4. Brain Fog
Constant cognitive clouding and difficulty focusing ('Automatic Behavior').
Clinical Pedigree & National Network
Dr. Jain trained under Dr. Emmanuel Mignot (Stanford), the world-renowned researcher who discovered the cause of Narcolepsy. Today, Dr. Jain serves on advisory panels and collaborates regularly with a close-knit network of national experts to define the future of hypersomnia care:
- Dr. Asim Roy
- Dr. Anne Marie Morse
- Dr. Gerard Meskill
- Dr. Edward Mezerhane
- Dr. Jeremy McConnell
Advanced Diagnostic Standards
A home sleep test CANNOT diagnose narcolepsy. You need a specialized in-lab study:
1. The PSG (Polysomnogram)
Overnight study to rule out apnea and ensure you slept at least 6 hours.
2. The MSLT (Multiple Sleep Latency Test)
The "Nap Study." You take 5 scheduled naps the next day. We measure how fast you fall asleep (Latency) and if you enter REM sleep (SOREMPs). This is the definitive test.
Modern Treatment Options
We use the most effective, evidence-based therapies available today.
- • Sodium Oxybate (Lumryz™, Xywav, Xyrem)
- • Histamine H3 Blockers (Wakix)
- • Dopamine/Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (Sunosi)
- • Modafinil/Armodafinil Protocol
North Texas Leaders in Sodium Oxybate
Sodium Oxybate is widely considered the most effective treatment for Narcolepsy and Idiopathic Hypersomnia. However, due to its complex REMS certification and strict monitoring requirements, many general sleep clinics avoid prescribing it.
We are different. As Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in this space, we specialize in high-complexity management. We firmly believe you deserve access to the "gold standard" of care, and we have the expertise to manage these powerful therapies safely and effectively.
