What is Hypersomnia?

Overview of Hypersomnia

Hypersomnia refers to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), where individuals feel an uncontrollable need to sleep during the day, even after sufficient nighttime rest. It’s more than just feeling tired — it can interfere with work, relationships, and mental health.

Primary vs Secondary Hypersomnia

• Primary hypersomnia: Often idiopathic, meaning there's no identifiable cause.
  

• Secondary hypersomnia: Caused by underlying conditions like sleep apnea, depression, head injuries, or the use of certain medications or substances.

Symptoms and Causes of Hypersomnia

Common Symptoms

• Persistent sleepiness during the day

• Long, unrefreshing naps

• Trouble waking up from long periods of sleep

• Brain fog or poor concentration

• Irritability and anxiety

• Loss of energy or motivation

Possible Causes

• Neurological conditions: Such as narcolepsy or Parkinson’s disease

• Mental health issues: Depression and anxiety disorders

• Medical conditions: Sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, or chronic fatigue syndrome

• Medications/substances: Sedatives, alcohol, or drug abuse

• Poor sleep hygiene: Irregular sleep patterns or sleep deprivation

When to See a Doctor

If you regularly experience overwhelming sleepiness or find that naps don’t help, it's essential to consult a sleep specialist in Delhi. Hypersomnia is manageable — but only with proper diagnosis and treatment.

How is Hypersomnia Diagnosed?

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. At JCS Lung & Sleep Centre, we follow a structured, evidence-based diagnostic process.

Sleep Study (Polysomnography)

This overnight test measures:

• Brain waves

• Heart rate

• Oxygen levels

• Breathing patterns

It helps rule out other sleep disorders like sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome.

Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)

This daytime study evaluates how quickly you fall asleep in a quiet environment. It helps determine the severity of hypersomnia and assess for narcolepsy.

Clinical Evaluation and History

Our doctors also review:

• Medical history

• Current medications

• Mental health assessments

• Sleep diaries

This holistic approach helps us create a customized treatment plan that targets both symptoms and root causes.
