Patterns of daytime sleepiness in narcoleptics and normals: a pupillometric study. Abstract Text:

Pupil diameter was measured in light and dark conditions every half hour for 6.5-10 h in 3 normal controls and 3 narcoleptics. Mean pupillary diameter was significantly smaller in the narcoleptic group than in the normal group. Pupil activity was correlated with pupil diameter only in the dark condition in narcoleptics. Pupil diameter varied with a circa 90 min periodicity in the narcoleptics but not in the normal controls. These results indicate firstly, that one-time assessment of pupil size is insufficient; and secondly, that the appearance of these rhythms may be the result of a defect in arousal mechanisms of narcoleptics which usually play an inhibitory role.
