"Unexplained Fatigue? It Could Be a Sleep Disorder"

Idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) is a sleep disorder that leaves people feeling exhausted even after a good night's sleep, often leading to constant daytime exhaustion, brain fog, and micro-sleeps. It is under-recognized and often misdiagnosed, leading to frustration and anxiety for sufferers. Diagnosis is challenging, and treatment focuses on managing symptoms with medication and lifestyle changes. Despite the difficulties, there is hope for improvement as people age, and support groups like Idiopathic Hypersomnia UK provide valuable assistance for those affected.
