Idiopathic hypersomnia is a condition, thought to be a neurological disorder, which is characterized primarily by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).[1] It has historically been rarely diagnosed and is often very difficult to diagnose at an early stage; it is usually a lifelong chronic disease, which is often debilitating.[2] There is a very low level of public awareness of idiopathic hypersomnia, which often leads to stigma for those who suffer from it.[3] There is currently no cure, but there are several off-label treatments, which are primarily FDA-approved narcolepsy medications.[4] Research funding for its study is scarce.[5][6]
