NINDS: Hypersomnia is characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive daytime sleepiness or prolonged nighttime sleep. Different
from feeling tired due to lack of or interrupted sleep at night, persons with hypersomnia are compelled to nap repeatedly
during the day, often at inappropriate times such as at work, during a meal, or in conversation. These daytime naps usually
provide no relief from symptoms. Patients often have difficulty waking from a long sleep, and may feel disoriented. Other
symptoms may include anxiety, increased irritation, decreased energy, restlessness, slow thinking, slow speech, loss of appetite,
hallucinations, and memory difficulty. Some patients lose the ability to function in family, social, occupational, or other
settings. Hypersomnia may be caused by another sleep disorder (such as narcolepsy or sleep apnea), dysfunction of the autonomic
nervous system, or drug or alcohol abuse. In some cases it results from a physical problem, such as a tumor, head trauma,
or injury to the central nervous system. Certain medications, or medicine withdrawal, may also cause hypersomnia. Medical
conditions including multiple sclerosis, depression, encephalitis, epilepsy, or obesity may contribute to the disorder. Some
people appear to have a genetic predisposition to hypersomnia; in others, there is no known cause. Typically, hypersomnia
is first recognized in adolescence or young adulthood.31
MalaCards: Hypersomnia is related to recurrent hypersomnia and kleine-levin syndrome. An important gene associated with Hypersomnia is HCRT (hypocretin (orexin) neuropeptide precursor), and among its related pathways are Immune response_ICOS pathway in T-helper cell and MHC class II antigen presentation. The compounds c-peptide and intralipid have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Related mouse phenotype homeostasis/metabolism.
