Hypersomnia

The age old question that people have been asking - How much sleep should you get? The amount of sleep one needs mainly depends on age, but is also affected by other factors such as pregnancy, aging, sleep deprivation, and sleep quality.

Oversleeping or hypersomnia is a condition that affects about 2 percent of the total population. People with hypersomnia might require as many as 10 to 12 hours of sleep per night to feel their best which is probably not possible with the responsibilities we share in our everyday life and therefore they catch up on these during their off days and sleep for as much as 15 hours at a stretch. Hypersomnia typically starts in childhood. Lifestyle factors can also play a part. If you don’t get enough sleep on a regular basis, your body may try to make up for it by oversleeping.

There are also a number of health conditions that might cause you to oversleep, such as:

• Thyroid Issues

• Heart Disease

• Sleep Apnea

• Depression

• Narcolepsy

• Certain Medications

For people with hypersomnia, oversleeping may cause the following issues:

• Anxiety

• Low Energy

• Memory Problems

• Headaches

• Obesity

• Back Pain

• Depression

If your oversleeping is caused by an underlying health issue, treating the issue may help you start sleeping normally. Making lifestyle changes that address poor sleep habits may also help.
