In reply to Hypersomnia Vs. Excessive daytime sleepiness, posted by damnthislife on June 11, 2013, at 9:59:57
Damnthislife,
Hypersomnia is one of my symptoms. In my case, when I'm not receiving any treatment, I feel at my worst (at my lowest level of energy) in the morning. I have extreme difficulty waking, and my sleep times are long. I wouldn't say, though, that I have strong urges to sleep once I'm awake. I seem to remember reading that hypersomnia could either involve an excessive need to sleep during the day or extended sleep times and that the person with hypersomnia doesn't necessarily have to experience both (the daytime sleepiness and the extended sleep times), but I'm not 100 percent sure of the validity of this.
Anyway, just thought I'd chime in with my thoughts on this topic.
