Individual CBT-H consists of 6 weekly sessions that are conducted one-on-one with a study therapist using live videoconferencing or in-person. Each session is expected to last about 45 to 60 minutes.

Group-based CBT-H consists of 6 weekly sessions that are conducted in groups with a study therapist using live videoconferencing or in-person. Each session is expected to last about 45 to 60 minutes. The treatment package consists of the same cognitive and behavioral modules as the individual CBT-H. However, participants are also provided the opportunity to share their experiences and provide peer support in the group format.

The CBT-H intervention consists of 6 weekly sessions that are conducted either individually or in small groups. Each session is expected to last about 45 to 60 minutes and will be delivered a study therapist using live videoconferencing or in-person. The treatment package consists of cognitive and behavioral modules that include education about hypersomnia, coping skills training, emotion regulation regarding the perceived limitations of living with chronic hypersomnia (e.g., "I cannot live a full life because of my illness"), and behavioral techniques using scheduled naps, sleep hygiene, and regularizing sleep schedules at night which are on the current optional recommendations for hypersomnia.

The PHQ is a 9-item self-report scale of depressive symptoms that has been validated to assess the severity of depression in clinical practice. PHQ-9 cut scores of 5, 10, 15, and 20 represented mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression, respectively.

Measures general self-efficacy, self-efficacy for managing emotions, self-efficacy for managing social interactions, self-efficacy for managing symptoms using Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) with higher scores reflecting better self-efficacy.

Measures depressive symptoms using Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) with higher scores reflecting more anxiety symptoms.

Measures anxiety symptoms using Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) with higher scores reflecting more anxiety symptoms.

Measures sleep disturbances using Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) with higher scores reflecting more sleep disturbance.

Measures sleep-related impairment using Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) with higher scores reflecting worse outcomes.

Measures fatigue using Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) with higher scores reflecting worse outcomes.

Measures physical function using Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) with higher scores reflecting better physical function.

The ESS consists of eight questions rated from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating greater likelihood of falling asleep. Total scores of 10 or greater reflect excessive daytime sleepiness.

The FOSQ assesses the impact of sleepiness on daily behaviors and quality of life. It is comprised of 30 items divided into five subscales: activity level, vigilance, intimate and sexual relationships, general productivity, and social outcome. Items are rated from 1 to 4, with higher score reflecting better functioning.
