Ramiro has a problem getting to his morning classes in college, and it has been going on for more than half of the semester. Although he goes to bed by 11 pm every night, he often does not wake up until at least 9 am, and on these days he misses his 8 am course. His roommate has suggested just dropping the course and signing up for later classes, but Ramiro is bothered because he usually does not feel well-rested even after a night of so much sleep. Which of the following is accurate for Ramiro’s case?
a. Ramiro should be diagnosed with narcolepsy.
b. Ramiro should be diagnosed with hypersomnolence disorder.
c. A medical condition is a more appropriate diagnosis than a sleep disorder.
d. No disorder exists if this behavior does not bother Ramiro or interfere in his life.
