Abstract
Beyond narcolepsy, there are other, rarer, hypersomnias of central origin. These are less well-defined, with a vaguer understanding of the underlying pathophysiology, but remain in the differential diagnosis for the excessively sleepy patient. The include both idiopathic hypersomnia and recurrent hypersomnia (Kleine-Levin syndrome). A knowledge of these disorders, their diagnosis and management, is therefore helpful for any clinician regularly seeing patients with sleep complaints.
