摘要

Beyond daytime sleepiness, central disorders of hypersomnolence (including narcolepsy types 1 and 2 and idiopathic hypersomnia) affect the fundamental aspects of everyday life, including mental health, negative self-esteem, relationships, social stigma, and occupational/school problems, all of which can lead to disability. Limited scientifically tested behavioral treatments designed to address the psychological, social, and economic devastation associated with hypersomnia exist. This case report reviews 1 patient’s experience with 2 adjuvant interventions for central disorders of hypersomnolence: group cognitive behavioral therapy for hypersomnia and individual acceptance and commitment therapy intervention for central disorders of hypersomnolence.
