Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT): A diagnostic test for narcolepsy and sleep apnea that is primarily used as a means of quantifying sleepiness. During this test you are given a chance to sleep every two hours during normal wake times; observations are made of the time taken to reach various stages of sleep to measure the degree of daytime sleepiness and how soon rapid-eye-movement sleep begins.
