Hypersomnia: Understanding

Hypersomnia: Overview

Hypersomnia is a state of excessive sleepiness which can result in decreased functioning and affect performance adversely. Hypersomnolence is defined as an inability to stay awake and alert during major waking episodes, resulting in periods of irrepressible need for sleep or unintended lapses into drowsiness or sleep. Lapses into sleep without prodromal symptoms of increasing sleepiness are called sleep attacks. Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is one of the big public health problem. Patients with EDS have decreased workplace productivity, lower quality of life and increased risk of work-related injury.

The causes of hypersomnia can be diverse and include various factors such as sleep disorders like narcolepsy and sleep apnea, insufficient sleep, idiopathic hypersomnia, being overweight, drug or alcohol abuse, head injuries, neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease, certain medications, genetics, and depression. Other potential causes may involve autonomic nervous system dysfunction, tumors, encephalitis, epilepsy, and chronic sleep deprivation, among others.

The exact etiology of idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) remains unclear, but several potential triggers and contributing factors have been identified. Abrupt changes in sleep-wake habits, overexertion, general anesthesia, viral illnesses, and mild head trauma have been associated with the development of IH symptoms. Rare genetic predispositions may also play a role, with subgroups of IH linked to reduced signaling of the neuropeptide orexin due to variants in the prepro-orexin gene.

Excessive daytime sleepiness and associated symptoms (such as automatic behaviors) can lead to danger to self and others, including an increased risk of motor vehicle accidents. Due to the potential for diversion as a "date rape" drug, access to oxybate is regulated in the United States and is controlled under Schedule III.

Non-pharmacologic treatments for hypersomnia focus on improving sleep quality and quantity. Good sleep hygiene practices, such as avoiding stimulants before bed, maintaining a regular sleep schedule, and keeping the sleeping environment comfortable, can help enhance night time sleep. Scheduled daytime naps of 15-20 minutes have been shown to reduce daytime sleepiness without negatively impacting nighttime sleep quality, though their effectiveness has been more extensively studied in narcolepsy compared to other hypersomnia. Regular physical activity can also be beneficial for improving sleep.
