Which condition is characterized by recurrent hypersomnia and odd behaviors such as binge eating?

Klein Levin Syndrome (KLS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of hypersomnia, where individuals experience excessive sleep that can last for days or even weeks. During these episodes, individuals often exhibit unusual behaviors, including binge eating, irritability, and altered social interactions. This disorder typically affects young males and may be accompanied by confusion, apathy, and a lack of energy during the periods when they are awake.

The recurrent nature of the episodes, along with the distinct behavioral changes such as binge eating, makes KLS the most fitting choice. While other conditions related to sleep disorders may involve hypersomnia, they do not share the particular combination of recurrent excessive sleeping and the odd behaviors seen in Klein Levin Syndrome.
