> I have hypersomnia and during the fall, it gets like ten times worse. I feel like a bear about to hybernate. I've heard that there can be some positive results from maoi's and also from that full spectrum lamp that treats SAD. Anyone have the same issues, or tried these treatments? What about sleep studies?

Absolutely. I am close to buying a dawn simulator, or I will rig up something of my own. For about five weeks or so, I have been wanting to sleep later and later... every day. I had troubles back in May and June with waking too early and I covered up my windows tighter and it helped (enforced darkness). Now, I am uncovering them trying to get more light in the room earlier in the day, and I am fighting a losing battle now, and need technology to help. I made the mistake of turning off my alarm at 9:30 this morning instead of hitting the snooze bar a few times and woke up almost at 1PM, despite going to sleep 12 hrs earlier. I am going to check out dawn simulators and post some links.
