Meet Charlotte: Living with Idiopathic Hypersomnia

8th March, 2024    |    By  Sleep Health Foundation    |     223

Idiopathic Hypersomnia is a sleep disorder characterised by extreme sleepiness during the day, sleeping for longer than usual, difficulty waking and staying awake, and feeling unrefreshed and unrestored by sleep. It is a rare sleep disorder, not well-understood (“idiopathic” meaning of unknown cause or origin), and can be debilitating for sufferers. In this video, Charlotte shares her experience from childhood, through to diagnosis and treatment of her sleep disorder.
