What is Hypersomnia?

Hypersomnia involves persistent excessive sleepiness that isn’t explained by poor sleep habits alone. Unlike occasional fatigue, hypersomnia is a chronic condition that often requires professional evaluation and treatment.

Common symptoms include:

  • Feeling excessively sleepy during the day
  • Sleeping longer than 9–10 hours at night, but still feeling unrefreshed
  • Difficulty waking up or staying awake
  • Brain fog, poor concentration, or memory issues
  • Irritability or low mood due to lack of energy

How Reverent Health Psychiatry Can Help

At Reverent Health Psychiatry, we address hypersomnia through a personalized, evidence-based approach, including:

  • Medication management to promote wakefulness and regulate sleep-wake cycles.
  • Brief supportive therapy to address the emotional impact of chronic fatigue.
  • Referrals for specialized therapy, such as CBT for insomnia-related anxiety or behavioral sleep interventions.
  • Collaboration with primary care or sleep specialists to ensure an integrated approach to treatment.
  • Patient-centered care that respects your experiences and empowers you in managing your condition.

Treatment Options (General Overview)

  • Medications: Stimulants or wake-promoting agents may be prescribed when appropriate.
  • Therapy referrals: CBT or behavioral sleep therapy to address maladaptive patterns and sleep anxiety.
