Sleep Wake Disorders: Excessive Sleepiness Is Diagnostic Challenge
Sleep-related disorders affect between 50 and 70 million Americans of all ages. A core symptom of sleep disturbances is excessive sleepiness, or difficulty maintaining wakefulness and an intense drive for sleep even under inappropriate circumstances. Isolating the etiology of excessive sleepiness is challenging for primary care practitioners, as this condition is associated not only with sleep-related disorders, but myriad other illnesses including neurologic, psychiatric and general medical conditions. This 4-part video-based activity, to be taken together or individually, provides practical strategies for the recognition and diagnosis of excessive sleepiness and enables clinicians to implement an appropriate management plan that may include nonpharmacologic, pharmacologic, and specialty referral as options. » Go to this activity
