Is Idiopathic Hypersomnia hereditary?
Here you can see if Idiopathic Hypersomnia can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Idiopathic Hypersomnia or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
There has not been an established genetic link yet but my sister and I both have it and many of the members in my IH community state a member also has IH

No, from what I've read and been told - it is NOT hereditary.

I am the only one in my family with any sleep disorder that we know of. I do have IH.

My dad, myself & my son have it but there’s no studies showing that it’s hereditary. I guess we were just lucky?!?
