SLEEP 2026 | The alignment between subjective and objective measures in hypersomnolence disorders
Lucie Barateau, MD, PhD, Gui-de-Chauliac Hospital, CHU Montpellier, Montpellier, France, discusses the importance of integrating both subjective and objective assessments when diagnosing and managing central disorders of hypersomnolence. She reviews current tools used to evaluate symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep inertia, emphasizes the value of patient-reported outcomes, and explains how a comprehensive approach can improve disease characterization and treatment selection. This interview took place at the 40th annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS) congress in Baltimore, MD.
