Cerebrospinal Fluid Hypocretin (CSF) –deficiency is associated with cataplexy in people with narcolepsy. Studies show a
significant relationship between low CSF hypocretin levels and other narcoleptic symptoms, such as Excessive Daytime
Sleepiness (EDS). The hypocretin level is measured by doing a spinal tap.
