    Narcolepsy patients may exhibit automatic behaviors, such as shoplifting, a newly recognized symptom. Sleep lab evaluations can confirm narcolepsy and guide treatment for these complex behaviors.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Sleep Medicine
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder.
    • Key symptoms include excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy.
    • Other symptoms are hallucinations and sleep paralysis.

    Observation:

    • Automatic behavior is a recognized narcolepsy symptom.
    • This case report details shoplifting as an automatic behavior in a narcolepsy patient.
    • The patient's shoplifting was a significant issue.

    Findings:

    • Sleep laboratory evaluation confirmed the narcolepsy diagnosis.
    • The study highlights the challenges of automatic behaviors in narcolepsy.
    • Treatment considerations for this specific symptom were explored.
