This condition is more than just being tired; it’s a state of excessive sleepiness even after getting a full night’s sleep (7 hours or more). You might struggle with “sleep inertia,” a feeling of grogginess and confusion upon waking that is difficult to shake. We can help investigate the causes and manage the significant impact this can have on your daily life.

Common Symptoms or Things to Look Out For:

• Excessive daytime sleepiness despite a main sleep period of at least 7 hours.
• Prolonged main sleep episodes (more than 9 hours per day) that are non-restorative.
• Difficulty being fully awake after abrupt awakening (sleep inertia).
• Symptoms occur at least 3 times per week for at least 3 months.
• The hypersomnolence causes significant distress or impairment in functioning.
