Sumario:Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is classified as a neurofunctional disorder that manifests as uncontrolled sleeping propensity in the daytime. Currently, consistent and effective therapeutic approaches for EDS are lacking.

We report an EDS case that involved a patient who recovered after several sessions of SGB.
