Statement of Need

Residual excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and narcolepsy is a common, debilitating condition that compromises patients' overall health, wellness, and safety. The field of sleep medicine is rapidly evolving to address the unmet needs of EDS as novel treatment options become available. 

In this CME Outfitters dynamic, interactive infographic, expert faculty discuss the impact of EDS on daily functioning, highlight the efficacy of current and novel treatment strategies, and provide expert commentary assessing the data for novel treatments.
