Idiopathic Hypersomnia

Idiopathic Hypersomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness despite getting adequate or even extended nighttime sleep. People with this condition often feel an overwhelming urge to sleep during the day, struggle to wake up, and may experience prolonged nighttime sleep without feeling refreshed. Unlike narcolepsy, it doesn't involve sudden sleep attacks or cataplexy. The exact cause is unknown, which is what "idiopathic" means, and diagnosing it typically involves ruling out other sleep disorders. Treatment may include lifestyle adjustments and medications to help manage daytime sleepiness.
