将发作性睡病患者与特发性睡眠过度患者和REM睡眠过度患者的夜间睡眠中断进行比较。结果显示发作性睡病睡眠模式的特异性和REM片段化与紧张症之间的可能相关性。对有和没有周期性睡眠运动（PMS）的患者进行了比较，发现他们的夜间睡眠模式没有差异，这表明PMS不是先前描述的发作性睡病患者睡眠中断的主要决定因素。最后，用γ-羟基丁酸（GHB）治疗夜间睡眠中断，结果进一步表明REM片段化和cataemia之间可能存在联系。
Narcoleptic patients were compared to idiopathic hypersomniac patients and REM hypersomnia patients with regard to nocturnal sleep disruption. Results showed specificity of the narcoleptic sleep pattern and a possible correlation between REM fragmentation and cataplexy. Patients with and without periodic movements in sleep (PMS) were compared and no difference was found in their nocturnal sleep pattern, suggesting that PMS is not the major determinant of sleep disruption previously described in narcoleptic patients. Finally, nocturnal sleep disruption was treated with gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and results further indicate a possible link between REM fragmentation and cataplexy.
