Sexual behavior can be associated with several stages of sleep, including
both non-rapid eye movement and rapid eye movement stages of
sleep. In narcoleptic patients, orgasmic cataplexy, or orgasmolepsy,
and sexual hypnagogic hallucinations can be present. Although the
association between narcolepsy and sexual behaviors has already been
described, few reports describe the embarrassing circumstances for
narcoleptic patients after vivid experiences during complex sexual
hypnagogic hallucinations. This report describes an interesting case
of a narcoleptic patient with sexual hypnagogic hallucinations associated
with out-of-body experiences.
