Abstract
Hypersomnia, a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and prolonged nocturnal sleep, poses significant challenges to individuals' daily functioning. Afflicted individuals struggle to stay awake during waking hours despite extended periods of sleep, often experiencing difficulties waking up in the morning. Cognitive functions, including memory and concentration, may be impaired, leading to social and occupational hindrances. While short naps provide minimal relief, hypersomnia's impact on overall well-being necessitates timely diagnosis and intervention. Diagnosis involves a comprehensive assessment of medical history and, if required, polysomnography. Treatment strategies, ranging from lifestyle modifications to pharmacological interventions, aim to address the underlying causes, which may be primary or secondary to other medical conditions. Timely recognition and management of hypersomnia are crucial to mitigating its adverse effects on daily life and fostering improved sleep quality and daytime alertness.
