Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ashley's symptoms suggest narcolepsy, a sleep disturbance characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden loss of muscle tone (cataplexy), sleep paralysis upon waking up or falling asleep, and vivid hallucinations. Falling asleep in the middle of a conversation and experiencing sleep attacks while standing are classic signs of narcolepsy. Hypersomnolence disorder is also characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, but without the other symptoms of narcolepsy. Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder that causes brief interruptions of breathing during sleep, and somnambulism is sleepwalking.
