Hypersomnia Disease Overview

Hypersomnia or excessive daytime sleepiness is a neurological disorder that causes the inability to stay awake and alert during the day despite adequate nighttime sleep. This condition can be caused by sleep disorders, medications, inadequate sleep, medical or psychiatric illnesses, depression, and head injury, among others. The characteristics of hypersomnia differ from person to person depending on the underlying causes, age, and lifestyle.

Hypersomnia: Treatment Overview

Medications and lifestyle changes are the primary treatments for hypersomnia. Modafinil (Provigil) is a common stimulant that is prescribed to the patients to help them stay awake during the day. Armodafinil (Nuvigil) is another medication for the treatment of idiopathic hypersomnia. Psychostimulants such as amphetamine and methylphenidate are also prescribed but they carry more abuse potential and side effects than first-line agents.

Epidemiology

The hypersomnia epidemiology section offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. The publisher provides both current and predicted trends for hypersomnia by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for hypersomnia and their trends. The data is broken down into specific categories, such as total prevalent cases in males and females, and total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.

• Hypersomnia is estimated to affect approximately 5% of the population, with a family history present in around 39% of the patients struggling with idiopathic hypersomnia.
• The prevalence of idiopathic hypersomnia falls in the range of 0.002% to 0.010% in the general population, with a greater number of cases reported in women.
• A 2018 study conducted in a sample of 6,483 adolescents aged 13-18 years revealed that about 41.5% of adolescents in the United States feel sleepy during the daytime, with 11.7% meeting hypersomnolence criteria.
• The prevalence of idiopathic hypersomnia is estimated to slightly less frequent in expert centers compared to narcolepsy, affecting around 1 to 2 persons for 10,000 inhabitants.

Country-wise Hypersomnia Epidemiology

The hypersomnia epidemiology data and findings for the United States, EU-4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France), the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.

The epidemiology of hypersomnia varies between countries owing to the differences in work culture, lifestyle, and environmental factors such as sleep hygiene, levels of stress, or prevalence of comorbid conditions like depression. Genetic factors, as well as differences in age, gender, and ethnicity, also contribute to variations in the prevalence of hypersomnia between countries. In the United States, a 2023 study reported the prevalence rate of idiopathic hypersomnia to be 32.12, 35.71, and 37.03 per 100,000 persons in 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively.
