Central disorders of hypersomnia such as narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) can be debilitating as both disorders are characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) which conveys a high degree of disability and burden. While there are safe, effective therapies that promote sustained reduction of symptoms in narcolepsy, there is often a failure to implement them in a timely manner.
