Abstract
Excessive daytime sleepiness is a common presentation to physicians both in general practice and hospital settings. In this review, we provide an update on the latest theories on the pathogenesis of the condition, and discuss the approach to investigation of the sleepy patient, with particular reference to narcolepsy. Recommended therapy is reviewed for both narcolepsy and cataplexy, to provide physicians with an important reference on the investigation and management of these troubling conditions.
