Some patients have recurrent episodes of hypersomnia, which often is associated with compulsive overeating and hypersexuality. This presentation is termed Kleine-Levin syndrome
idiopathic hypersomnia is defined as a disorder of presumed CNS cause that is associated with excessive sleepiness consisting of prolonged sleep episodes of non–rapid eye movement sleep
