Hypersomnia is a unique point of intersection
of many specialties in sleep medicine: it draws
on the neurophysiologists to explain its neurophysiology;
the psychiatrists to differentiate it
from depression; the pediatrician to recognize it
early in life; the psychologist, social worker, and
all other sleep specialists to confirm diagnosis,
entertain multidisciplinary management strategies,
and provide ongoing costumer service for
sufferers.
