Pre sleep hallucination: vivid dream like experience before falling asleep or awakening. Auditory hallucination is the most common, as well as visual hallucination and touch hallucination. Narcolepsy pre sleep hallucinations and post wake hallucinations are seen in 12% - 50% of narcolepsy patients. Patients can have vivid, often unpleasant sensory experiences before or during sleep, including vision, touch, movement or hearing. It can be expressed as a dream like experience, such as seeing athletes on the stadium, walking people, etc. the common hallucination experience is being in the scene of fire, being attacked or flying in the air, etc. These hallucinations are very vivid, mostly nightmares during awakening and sleep transition, occasionally accompanied by general paralysis, pressure and fear. Patients often describe these hallucinations as more terrifying than ordinary dreams because they come from real (awake) environments, which makes it difficult to distinguish between reality and dreams.

Sudden collapse: sudden or temporary loss of muscle quality, which causes paralysis of the head or body without loss of consciousness. It can last for seconds or minutes. Mild symptoms are vague language or stuttering, drooping eyelids or finger weakness. Severe cataplexy can cause knees to bend and collapse. Laughter, excitement, or anger are typical causes of cataplexy. The sudden relaxation of muscle quality may be the result of the brain suddenly entering REM sleep. Less than half of the patients with somnolence had cataplexy.

Sleep paralysis: the so-called sleep paralysis is when people fall asleep or wake up temporarily unable to exercise. It only lasts a few minutes. Similar to cataplexy, sleep paralysis may also be related to insufficient transition between REM sleep and awake state. Sleep paralysis is associated with hallucinations.
