Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To measure the effect of nocturnal sodium oxybate administration on sleep architecture in patients with narcolepsy. DESIGN: Open-label study. SETTING: Four accredited sleep clinics. PARTICIPANTS: 25 adult patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were weaned from previously used anticataplectic medications and administered increasing nightly doses of sodium oxybate over a 10-week period: 4.5 g for 4 weeks, 6 g for 2 weeks, 7.5 g for 2 weeks, and 9 g for 2 weeks. The effect of sodium oxybate was measured using nocturnal polysomnograms, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test, and a narcolepsy symptoms questionnaire. RESULTS: The nightly administration of sodium oxybate produced dose-related increases in slow-wave sleep and delta power, rapid eye movement sleep increased initially and then decreased in a dose-related manner, nocturnal awakenings decreased, and daytime sleep latency increased. Significant improvements in daytime symptoms were measured by the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and the narcolepsy symptom questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS: Nocturnal administration of sodium oxybate in patients with narcolepsy produces significant improvements in sleep architecture, which coincide with significant improvements in daytime functioning.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
