DSM-IV: Primary Hypersomnia

Excessively deep or prolonged major sleep period. The term is primarily a diagnostic term, e.g. idiopathic hypersomnia.* [A dyssomnia, which as a symptom may be associated with any of a number of mental disorders.]

B. The excessive sleepiness causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

C. The excessive sleepiness is not better accounted for by Insomnia and does not occur exclusively during the course of another Sleep Disorder (e.g. Narcolepsy, Breathing-Related Sleep Disorder, Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder, or a Parasomnia) and cannot be accounted for by an inadequate amount of sleep.

D. The disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of another mental disorder.
