Rationale: Although patients with central disorders of hypersomnolence (CDH) exhibit characteristic symptoms of hypersomnia frequently, it takes 5 to 15 years from the onset for its diagnosis due to the lack of symptom recognition.

Patient Concerns: A 21-year-old man lost consciousness while driving and experienced an accident.
