Directory of Healthcare Professionals
who treat idiopathic hypersomnia, narcolepsy, and Kleine-Levin syndrome
Our directory includes sleep doctors and other healthcare professionals, such as behavioral sleep medicine specialists, psychologists, physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and primary care doctors.
These professionals reported experience with hypersomnias and joined on their own, or people in the hypersomnia community recommended them. Keep in mind that all medical doctors and some NPs and PAs can prescribe medicines, but psychologists and counselors usually can’t.
