Hypersomnia: Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis

A person is considered to have hypersomnia if they sleep more than 10 hours per day on a regular basis for at least two weeks.

Complications / Issues

People who are overweight are more likely than others to suffer from hypersomnia, and this can often exacerbate their weight problems as their excessive sleep patterns mean they will use up less energy (burn less calories), making it even harder for them to lose weight.

Treatment

Hypersomnia can be treated with stimulants, such as Modafinil.

Prevention

The best way to prevent the onset of the symptoms and complications of Hypersomnia is for the sufferer to maintain a healthy weight, and, if they suffer from depression, seek medical help to treat the depression.
