Key Clinical Message Tetrasomy X is a rare chromosomal anomaly in which sleep disorders have not been previously reported. We report on one patient with tetrasomy X and hypersomnia successfully treated with psychostimulant therapy. Sleep disorders are rarely reported in chromosomal anomalies. Clinicians should screen patients for sleep disorders and manage them appropriately.
