This study examined the preliminary performance of the Wilder-Addison Narcolepsy Function Scale (WANFS), a performance measure designed to detect functional disruption associated with narcolepsy symptoms. A cross-sectional survey design was employed. Participants with Narcolepsy Type 1 (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n =<\/jats:italic>\n                    63), Narcolepsy Type 2 (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n =<\/jats:italic>\n                    58), and control participants without narcolepsy (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n =<\/jats:italic>\n                    51) completed the WANFS. Descriptive statistics, internal consistency reliability, and known-groups validity analyses were conducted. The WANFS demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 = .96). Participants with narcolepsy reported significantly higher functional disruption across domains compared with controls (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001).
