On this episode we discuss Idiopathic Hypersomnia with Diana. Idiopathic hypersomnia, is a neurological sleep disorder that can affect many aspects of a person's life. Symptoms often begin between adolescence and young adulthood and develop over weeks to months. People with IH have a hard time staying awake and alert during the day (chronic excessive daytime sleepiness, or EDS).
