Statistics on Hypersomnia

  • Hypersomnia is a rare condition. It is even rarer than insomnia.
  • 5% or fewer of adults complain of excessive sleepiness during daytime. It does not mean however, that all those who complain of excessive sleepiness have hypersomnia. There are many other possible causes of daytime sleepiness.
  • In the population of people complaining that they feel too sleepy during the day, only about 5–10% was diagnosed with primary hypersomnia.
  • Kleine-Levin syndrome is present in about three times more males than females, but it is a very rare syndrome.
  • Hypersomnia generally appears when the patient is between 15 and 30 years old. It does not begin suddenly, but becomes apparent slowly, sometimes over years. 10
