Hypersomnia or excessive daytime sleepiness is common in neurological practice and may have different etiologies. Hypersomnia may be defined as sleepiness at an inappropriate time or in an inappropriate situation. It is important to consider that hypersomnia is at times referred to as tiredness or fatigue. A detailed clinical history is essential to reach an accurate diagnosis. A correct diagnosis is necessary to initiate the appropriate treatment considering the negative social and occupational consequences of hypersomnia. Excessive daytime sleepiness syndromes include primary sleep disorders like narcolepsy and hypersomnia secondary to several neurological and psychiatric disorders and also as an adverse effect of numerous drugs.
在神经科临床实践中，失眠或日间过度嗜睡很常见，且可能有不同的病因。失眠可定义为在不适当的时间或不适当的情况下感到困倦。需要注意的是，失眠有时也被称为疲倦或乏力。详细的临床病史对于准确诊断至关重要。考虑到失眠对社会和职业的负面影响，正确的诊断对于启动适当的治疗是必要的。日间过度嗜睡综合征包括原发性睡眠障碍，如发作性睡病，以及继发于多种神经和精神疾病的失眠，还有作为多种药物的不良反应导致的失眠。
