Excessive daytime sleepiness: A neurological disorder in which there is a sudden recurrent uncontrollable compulsion to sleep. Excessive daytime sleepiness is also known as narcolepsy. The condition is often associated with: 1  Cataplexy -- a sudden loss of muscle tone and paralysis of voluntary muscles associated with a strong emotion. 2  Sleep paralysis -- immobility of the body that occurs in the transition from sleep to wakefulness. 3  Hypnagogic hallucinations -- pre-sleep dreams.
Excessive daytime sleepiness is one of the most common sleep-related patient symptoms, and it affects an estimated 20 percent of the population. Persons with excessive daytime sleepiness are at risk of motor vehicle and work-related incidents, and have poorer health than comparable adults. The most common causes of excessive daytime sleepiness are sleep deprivation, obstructive sleep apnea, and sedating medications. Other potential causes of excessive daytime sleepiness include certain medical and psychiatric conditions and sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy.
