Excessive sleepiness, inability to function daily and maintain a normal productive life, cannot stay awake or get out of bed easily

With idiopathic hypersomnia you spend most of your day feeling immensely tired or sleeping. You can never feel better without the use of stimulants on a consistent, daily basis. Life becomes harder and you have to rely on your support system (consanguineous clan or close friends) for help.

In my opinion, the worst symptoms, is how exhausted you feel regardless of how much sleep you have. You could sleep for 8 or 10 hours, yet feel just as exhausted before you went to sleep. Also not being able to do things with friends because you need to go home to sleep.

Excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep inertia, brain fog/difficulties with concentration and general cognition, unrefreshing sleep

Feeling sleepy all the time. This leads to cancelled plans and a constant worry about getting through the day.

Symptoms and treatment. Yes they help, to a point. When I feel like I need to stop working, but doctors want to keep trying. Continually dropping things and so tired, but doctors say can work. Although getting SSDI sounds overwhelming and difficult too.

The extreme fatigue which is not alleviated by any amount of sleep is the major symptom of this disorder. This is the barrier that prevents anyone with IH from having a normal life. To eradicate this symptom would enable the ‘sufferer’ to lead as close to a normal life as possible.
I think the next problem is the lack of knowledge about the disease and this causes those with IH to be met with ignorance, disbelief and a lack of empathy about the illness and it’s debilitating consequences.

Inability to wake up naturally. Pain. Memory. Sleep paralysis. Forgetting people have died . Memory loss. Foggy head . Eye sight. Mobility. Socialising. Working. Self worth. The voice in our heads . The anxiety. The confusion

Sleep deprivation is the best way to word it. I sleep but my brain doesn’t do what it should to make me restful. I would get rid of the extreme need for more sleep, no matter how much sleep you get.
