Idiopathic hypersomnia and Kleine–Levin syndrome have attracted much interest in recent years, and an overview of recent progresses is presented in this chapter.[oxfordmedicine.com]

However, the influence of exogenous factors on the observations of the present study can be ruled out due to identical incubation conditions.[frontiersin.org]
Bruxism is present frequently during sleep. Men and women are affected equally. Obesity is uncommon in this condition.[beatcfsandfms.org]
The symptomatic hypersomnias are less well known to sleep physicians and often neglected by specialists, either internists or psychiatrists, although they may seriously impact the quality of life of patients Access to the complete content on Oxford Medicine[oxfordmedicine.com]

Anatomic abnormalities include a triangular face, a high and narrow arched palate, a long uvula, a class II malocclusion of the mouth (hypoplastic mandible), and, at times, a retroposition of the mandible.[beatcfsandfms.org]
A genetic basis for idiopathic hypersomnia is suggested by several works.[beatcfsandfms.org]
However, a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggests Modafinil might be efficacious in treating IH patients ( 5 ). Sleep regulation seems to be disturbed in patients suffering from IH ( 6, 7 ).[frontiersin.org]

Despite some reports that suggest an increased frequency of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Cw2 and HLADR5 in idiopathic hypersomnia, [ 19 ] HLA typing is of no help in the positive diagnosis of idiopathic hypersomnia.[beatcfsandfms.org]

TREATMENTTreatment of idiopathic hypersomnia is far from satisfactory. Stimulant drugs, such as dextroamphetamine, methylphenidate, mazindol, or 581 pemoline, are the most commonly prescribed medications.[beatcfsandfms.org]
Currently there is no admitted medical treatment for IH. However, a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggests Modafinil might be efficacious in treating IH patients ( 5 ).[frontiersin.org]
IH is a primary sleep disorder of not yet finally resolved etiology characterized by a high and disabling amount of sleep required during the day, despite normal or even prolonged sleep times at night.[frontiersin.org]

Apart from genetic factors, an enhanced activity of a GABA A -receptor stimulating-factor could be detected in vitro in the CSF of IH patients that could also contribute to the pathophysiological mechanism of these patients ( 10 ).[frontiersin.org]
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY In contrast with narcolepsy, no animal model of idiopathic hypersomnia is available; thus, experimental approaches are limited.[beatcfsandfms.org]
Lifestyle changes that can help ease symptoms and prevent injury include: Avoid alcohol and medicines that can make the condition worse Avoid operating motor vehicles or using dangerous equipment Avoid working at night or social activities that delay[account.allinahealth.org]
