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.

Thanks for your input! I would say I'm pretty close to you. When I wake in the morning, it is the most difficult part of the day. I could easily roll over and go back to bed for what feels likes hours. I due tend to wake a tiny bit once I get moving (shower, drive to work, get to work) however there after I continue to yawn and feel the need to nap.
I'm still besides myself as to why I didn't respond to any stimulant I took (provigil, adderal, stattera (sp?), or bupropion for that matter. Seeing as those have effect dopamine.
