Excessive daytime sleepiness is a common clinical application of Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome and narcolepsy patients. Although both medical conditions can be different in extensive daytime sleepiness features and accompanying symptomatology, distinctive features may be masked in some cases.

We aimed to discuss the possibility of this condition being comorbidity, the possibility of masking the type clinics in their association or the possibility of causing each other's risk factors.
