Hypersomnolence of Central Origin Zafer Soultan, MD Director, Pediatric Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine Upstate, Golisano Children’s Hospital Syracuse, NY
Main sources • Classification of Sleep Disorders, AASM, third edition • Sleep Medicine Pearls, Berry, R. third Edition
Sleepiness • Inability to stay awake during the major waking episodes of the day. • Large increase in total daily sleep without feeling of restoration • Sleepiness alleviated by naps, but reoccurs shortly • In children: • long night sleep, or reoccurrence of napping • Inattentiveness, emotional liability, hyperactivity and declined school performance • Must occur for at least 3 months
Assessing severity • Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT): objective measure of sleepiness
Before the test • Document adequate sleep for 1-2 weeks: sleep log and/or actigraphy • PSG a night before with 6-7 hours of sleep • Patients free of drugs that influence sleep for 14 days before study
What do we measure • Mean sleep latency (MSL) • The number of sleep-onset rapid eye movement (REM) periods (SOREMPs)- within 15 minutes of sleep onset.
But, what about age variation Hence, consider MSL < 12 minutes abnormal in children
Central Disorders of Hypersomnlence • Narcolepsy type 1 • Narcolepsy Type 2 • Idiopathic hypersomnia • Kleine-Levin syndrome • Insufficient sleep syndrome, the most common • Narcolepsy or hypersomnia due to medical condition • Hypersomnia due to medications or associated with psychiatric disorder
Narcolepsy Type 1 (narcolepsy with cataplexy) • Daily periods of irrepressible need to sleep, or daytime lapses into sleep • One, or both of the following • Cataplexy anda mean sleep latency of ≤ 8 minutes and 2 or more SOREMP • CSF hypocretin -1 of ≤ 110 pg/ml or < 1/3 mean value of normal
Sleepiness in narcolepsy • Daily episodes of irresistible need to lapse into sleep • Patient awaken refreshed • Likely to occur in monotonous situations that require no active participation • Physical activity may suppress the urge to sleep • Sleep attacks in unusual situations- eating or walking
Cataplexy • Brief (< 2 minutes) of usually bilateral and symmetrical loss of muscle tone with retained consciousness • Precipitated by strong emotions- laughter, anticipation of an award (children) • In children: facial hypotonia (or generalized) with droopy eyelids, mouth opening, and protruded tongue, or gait unsteadiness
Associated features • Disruption of nocturnal sleep • Hypnagogic hallucinations and/or sleep paralysis occur in 33-80% • Obesity • Depressive symptoms, anxiety (20%) • Sleep: REM sleep behavior disorder, OSA, PLMD, sleep talking • Fatigue
Narcolepsy type 1 • Onset 10-25 years, and rare before 5-year age • Sleepiness and then cataplexy within 1-5 years. Rarely, cataplexy may precede sleepiness. • Usually stable when fully developed over the first few years, but cataplexy may decrease, or increase.
Demographics/Etiology (genetics, HLA typing) • 1/4000 in western European. 7/4000 in Japan • Head trauma, viral illness, seasonal patterns (in the spring) • Autoimmune? • Increased in antibodies against beta-hemolytic streptococcus • In winter 2009-2010 after vaccination against H1N1 associated influenza (pandemrix), a dramatic spike in new cases of narcolepsy • Familial? all patients are positive for HLA DQB1*0602 • But, the risk of narcolepsy type 1 in first degree relatives is 1-2%, and only 30% chance in identical twin
Children • Rare prior to age of 4 years • Sleepiness may be difficult to asses, or the child may exhibit hyperactive behavior and deterioration in school performance • Catplexy; weakness on the face, eyelids and mouth, tongue protrusion (cataplectic facies). • MSLT? • CSF Hypocretin-1 is highly sensitive and specific test

Hypocretin deficiency in human narcolepsy Nishino S. The Lancet 355(9197):39–40, 2000
PSG • SORMP, very specific but not sensitive • REM sleep without atonia • Disruption of sleep with frequent awakenings • Increased N1

Narcolepsy type II • Daily periods of irrepressible need to sleep, or daytime lapses into sleep • Cataplexy is absent • A mean sleep latency of ≤ 8 minutes, and 2 or more SOREMP (one SOREMP in the PSG a night before replaces one of the SOREMP on MSLT) • CSF hypocretin -1: > 110 pg/ml (immunoreactive assay) or > 1/3 of mean values of normal individuals obtained with the same assay
Demographic/predisposing factors/complications and prognosis • 15-25% of the clinic narcoleptic patients • Low Hcrt-1 in 24%, 8% will have intermediate level. • 10% of patients will progress to type 1 • 45% of total narcolepsy type II will have HLA DQB1*0602 positive • The number of hypocretin producing cells are decreased • Triggers unknown: ?head trauma and viral illness • Starts in adolescence
Children • Sleepiness may present with reappearance of regular napping • MSLT: no normative data in children < 6-year. • Adolescents: the most common etiologies of short sleep onset in MSLT, often with multiple SOREMPs, are chronic sleep deprivation and delayed sleep phase disorder • Behavioral problems may occur at the onset of the disorder. Symptoms may be hidden by the patients. • Inattentiveness, insomnia, lack of energy, bizarre hallucinations, or combination thereof can lead to psychiatric misdiagnosis
Differential diagnosis • Idiopathic hypersomnia: • Similar sleep onset on MSLT, but < 2 SOREMP’s on MSLT/PSG • Long unrefreshing naps • High sleep efficiency and sleep drunkenness • OSA • Chronic sleep deprivation • Circadian Rhythm disorders; delayed phase and shift work • Malingering, and substance abuse, and medications • Chronic fatigue
Narcolepsy 1 and 2 patients often are • Failing in school, and often dismissed from their jobs. • Driving may be avoided for fear of a motor vehicle accident. • The inability to sleep at night may further contribute to a loss of control these patients have over their schedule. • Depression and weight gain are common
Idiopathic Hypersomnia (IH) • Daily periods of irrepressible need to sleep, or daytime lapses into sleep • No cataplexy • MSLT: < 2 SOREMP’s, or no SOREMP’s if the REM onset on PSG was ≤ 15 minutes • Mean sleep onset latency on MSLT ≤ 8 min, OR total 24-hour sleep ≥ 11 hours on PSG or actigraphy with sleep log • Insufficient sleep syndrome is ruled out
Additional features • Sleep drunkenness • Long unrefreshing naps (>1 hour) • High sleep efficiency (>90%) on PSG • Autonomic system disturbance: headache, orthostatic disturbance, perception of temperature dysregulation, Raynaud phenomena, sleep paralysis and hypnogogic hallucination
IH • Unknown pathophysiology • Onset adolescents 16-21 years of age • Remission in 14%
Differential diagnosis • Narcolepsy II • OSA • Chronic fatigue • Hypersomnia with medical or psychiatric disorders, due to medications or substance • Long sleepers
Kleine-Levin syndrome • At least 2 recurrent episodes of excessive sleepiness and sleep duration, each persisting for 2 days-5 weeks • Episodes recur more than once in 1 year, and at least once every 18 months • Normal alertness, mood, cognitive function and behavior between episodes
Kleine-Levin syndrome • At least one of the following during the episode: • Cognitive dysfunction • Altered perception • Eating disorder • Disinhibited behavior (such as hypersexuality) • Sub-type: Menstrual-related Kleine-Levin Syndrome
Kleine-Levin Syndrome • Incidence 1-2 per million • Male/Female: 2:1 • Starts in second decade of life and remits in 14 years
Insufficient sleep syndrome • Daily periods of irrepressible need to sleep or daytime lapses into sleep or, in the case of prepubertal children, there is a complaint of behavioral abnormalities attributable to sleepiness • Sleep time is shorter than expected for age • The patient curtails sleep time • Extension of total sleep time results in resolution of the symptoms of sleepiness
Associated features • Irritability, concentration and attention deficits, reduced vigilance, distractibility, reduced motivation, anergia, dysphoria, fatigue, restlessness, uncoordination and malaise • Common in adolescence • Diagnosed by 2-3 weeks of sleep diary and actigraphy • PSG; increased sleep efficiency. • MSLT excessive sleepiness, no SOREMP’s, and excessive N1
Long Sleeper • > 10 hours in adults • 2 hours more than age-specific norms. • Sleepiness when they are forced to curtail their sleep time • It begins in childhood
Case 1 • 17-year old male, EDS started at 9th grade • No cataplexy • No snoring
