I was diagnosed with Atypical Major Depressive disorder and I've been sleeping over 14 hours a day the past 2 months. I try to fix it by setting alarms, but I feel deathly tired all day when I do this and even when I sleep over 12+ hours I still feel tired. This is such a tough condition to live with, and I'm hoping once I can get my depression under control that this will subside.
Hey Justin. My nephew developed the same disorder two days after getting his second covid shot. I am curious if this came about shortly after you were vaccinated. From our research there may be a link and you may be entitled to a 6 or 7 figure compensation should a class action lawsuit be arranged. Let me know
I did the same thing around age 50 and now at 60 my body feels very weak. Still very depressed and yes I did it to make the time go by and still do. I live alone and am very isolated . Never talk on the phone and barely text I know this isnt normal and I feel bad and worry about it everyday . Everyone has their lives with friends interests activities. I know this is a very abnormal life. I really do not know how to undo this mess and try to create real connections. Not to mention healing my body on every level. Sleep, nutrition, exercise , social connection.
Join a group or a class at your local community center. Maybe start with 3 days a week, then 4, then 5. You'll be committed to something that you have to show up for and this will help you with so many of your ailments. You can do it🙏

I've been suffering from hypersomnia, insomnia, major depressive disorder, social anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress for most of my life and my recommendation to anyone suffering from these things should seek help as early as possible as it will get increasingly difficult as these conditions progress. There are also many things you can do yourself without medication that can improve most psychological conditions like meditation, physical exercise, and social interactions. Isolation can greatly worsen these conditions. EDIT: Some clarification is needed; I was never tested or officially diagnosed with a hypersomnia condition, I was merely told by a physician that it was possible that I had hypersomnia but it never reached a point where proper testing was done and diagnosis was considered, therefore it would be incorrect to phrase my above statement as if I've had hypersomnia when there isn't a diagnosis for it.
I have been diagnosed with cptsd. I am currently on trintellix 10 mg OD and Wellbutrin 150 OD. I too experience hypersomnia. I am currently unemployed will be going back to school soon and I cannot afford to sleep all the time
@@tailovesyou I think you should talk it over with a doctor who is a general practitioner in the field of medicine and then get referred to a specialist on what the first doctor think you may be suffering from. Psychologists can also help but the underlying causes for psychological problems (such as vitamin/mineral deficiencies) should be diagnosed and addressed first. TLDR; get a diagnosis and then start proper treatment. If done properly, you could be seeing huge improvements relatively quickly.
@@nalinijyotsanadas Totally missed your reply. In terms of hypersomnia, it was by far not the worst thing I had dealt with and I've heard some people with the condition can sleep for 8-10 days at a time and for me it was more for 24-36 hours at a time so it can be dealt with without too much trouble. I hope things improved for you and I know it can be hard but just have to stay persistent and keep fighting it and it will get easier down the road.
Thanks,it was a really well explained and detailed video,I was wondering what's wrong with me. I felt so sleepy despite having more than 8 hrs of sleep.
I usually sleep 12-15 hours and can't control it, I often feel sleepy the whole day and can't think straight. And because of this, I'm scared to sleep if i need to be early in class tomorrow. A reason why I'm always absent and can't do good in school. I really hate this.😔
@@sertheon will you update if you get the consultation? My best friend thinks I have narcolepsy. She does and of course daytime sleepiness is a symptom.
U can buy Adderall for the day if you're struggling with study. Our generations is already full of instant reward low effort lifestyle that disables our brain. You may need some "booster" for your performance.
A neurologist or sleep specialist should evaluate you and from that prescribed the correct medication. I use Nuvigil since April I’m happy since I started my treatment.
I have depression from almost three years I can't control my depression I am suffering from severe hypersomnia I literally sleep 14 hours or more than it a day but still feel so tired I feel like to sleep 24/7 . Its so hard being in such condition and addition to I have exams too in this days I am seriously so tired of these things
How did you determine that the cause of your sleepiness was in fact caused by your depression? I can sleep for 8 hours and then when I am in the process of creating training material at my desk. Or, the most embarrassing and detrimental time to suddenly doze off, is when I am inspecting a co-workers completed assignment and I noticed a defect that will cause this item to be rejected. However, when I pause to describe the issue, my head gets heavy and I inadvertently do that nodding off scenario.
My hypersomnia is not sudden, just the onset of a daytime drowsiness where I decide I need to go nap. 1 nap a day is nothing surprising for a 70 year old guy, but sometimes 2 or 3 naps is not uncommon. My sleep is most often 8 hours or so. My symptoms began in earnest during Covid, and now remain.
Yeah now try being 25 and having to take a nap every day or risk feeling so tired that its equivalent to being drugged with benadryl. I'm a very healthy 25 year old otherwise. I do martial arts and am outside all day every day. But for some fucking reason I have this bullshit to deal with almost every day. Ive even tried changing my diet. I got off of sertraline by myself and that was a huge mistake I had an extremely negative reaction to getting off of it and it took a couple months for me to get back to level headed im talking REALLY really bad panic attacks and for some reason it made me go into severe withdrawals from my kratom so I had to taper that down too (I take for ptsd). All in all im a fucking mess. I hope that Ill be able to get off of sertraline for good soon. This stuff is the worst shit ever and it sucks that I need it. I've been going on and off of sertraline for what feels like forever now. Sober life is way too difficult for me most of the time and for some reason I always end up going into some mental breakdown.
Crazy thing is for those panic attacks. I didnt realize until about a week that getting off of the sertraline somehow made me go into full withdrawals off my kratom. So I thought what were full blown withdrawals that I was just going mentally insane. I remember trying to meditate and 3 different nights I went into a state of hyper drive in anxiety in my brain. To the point where I literally started to mentally fade out of existence. Like the warm tingly excrutiatingly worried and dreadful feeling of anxiety. I had to go for walks at night with my partner because I literally felt like I was dying like I had taken a 1000mg edible or something. During the walk I felt like I was going to pass out and go into a coma and it felt like my last moments of life. I thought I had some really bad seretonin syndrom or something. So I was forced to go back on the medication after a couple nights of that. And only after that I realized I was in full blown withdrawal and knowing that made that not happen again, however it was still terrifying that my mind went to that dark and desperate a place. So thats a word of the wise for people trying to taper off of sertraline on your own, please dont do what I did, especially if you are taking another drug like kratom apparently. So Now im taking 4 grams of kratom a day and not going back up in fear of that happening again. and Im not tapering off the meds until im ready. But the hyperinsomia is awful
my sleep has been meeeeessed up so i decided to get a smart watch to track my sleep. found out i spend 40% to 50% of my sleep cycle in deep sleep, which is much higher than the normal amount from what i can glean. i feel better fighting off sleep than i do when i get a full night of sleep. its a nightmare tbfh
Bro I slept 14 hours and then took a nap during the day. This happens to me randomly but mostly when I have nothing to do and I let my body do it's things and sometimes it just decides to oversleep.
Strong black coffee doesnt work anymore..felt like im gonna fall..during the day its worse i felt like a zombie..im so tired even though im not doing any strenous work or activity..everything seems to be slowing down..slow motion.
Caffeine is a short term solution because it causes your brain to produce more sleepy chemicals to make up for the ones that the Caffeine blocked then you have to drink more Caffeine to block even more sleepy chemicals which causes you brain to make more It's a cycle that will most definitely make you more tired in the long run

I just want to share something that might help. I suffered from hypersomnia for almost 6 years and couldn't find a solution to treat it. I read somewhere that avoiding sugar and gluten might help. I tried it, and within a few days, I started feeling better when waking up. My overall feeling improved. Just avoid sugar, gluten, and oil. Here's what I eat in a day, along with exercise: Rice Egg Fish (cooked without oil) Vegetables Fruits (avoid very sweet fruits)
Working. Ights for.most of my life i always figured i just i was always tired because of it. But when i happened to tell my doc that i was told to get cpap machine, and after a year no changes and not being able to stay awake longer then 4-6 hours, finally was able to figure out what it was. Meds are dang near life saving
I am actually so tired with my oversleeping I used to be that type of person who needed only 4 to 5 hour of sleep and i was not taking a day nap But now it is complete opposite i sleep for 8- 10 hours and i take a 2 to 3 long day naps , I am genuinely so scared my studies is getting badly effected, i feel tired entire day
It's essential to address changes in sleep patterns; consider consulting a healthcare professional to identify underlying causes and regain your energy. ❤️
I don't know wtf is happening with me I just can't sit on my table N study for 1 hour , I use to study 6 hour in one go but these days I m sleeping way too much , idk what should I do
i'm facing the same problem 🥺.....i used to study till 12 A.m.Recently i go to bed nearly at 8:30 pm or 9 pm....also i fell deathly tired all the time & lack of Attention/concentration . NOW My LIFE IS MISERABLE 😭😭
I'm sorry to hear that and that it's affecting your daily life. Please consult with a healthcare professional who can properly evaluate your symptoms and provide guidance tailored to your specific situation
I’m in the army I think It ruined me forever I sleep way too much and still wake up tired I even jolt awake throughout the night :( I’m never well rested
My father had been operated because of intercranial aneurysm and now, i think he has this because he is always sleeping. I dont know what to do. We are having a hard time feeding him and taking his medicines because of this
Narcolepsy involves falling asleep suddenly and uncontrollably even when not tired, hypersomnias usually feel so tired they can't help but fall asleep but they're aware that they're falling asleep.
@missv92 Feeling constantly tired due to hypersomnia is incredibly challenging. 😢 It's important to seek medical advice to explore potential treatments and lifestyle changes that can help you manage this condition better. You're not alone in this-there's hope for relief and more energy in your days ahead! 💪
Hypersomnia, characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness or prolonged nighttime sleep, can severely impair daily functioning. This condition may cause difficulty concentrating, memory issues, and unusual behaviors, such as forgetting basic tasks like wearing shoes to work. It often requires medical evaluation to determine underlying causes and appropriate treatment. Please consult your health care professional
I have been sleeping for 20 hrs, at first i thought i was just tired, a day like this is normal but now it has become a routine the my sleep timing is being stretching to the point that i am unable to performa my basic routine functions.
I sleep so much I don't know if it is caused by my depression or by a physical disease I feel always sleepy I sleep at least 17 hours a day Please give some food that decrease hypersomnia
I have same issue since 4 years. I sleep for 12 13 hours but still feel sleepy whole day and also take a nap in the afternoon. I consulted neurologist he prescribed me antidepressants but they helped me little bit and I didn't recover fully. Then I consulted pulmonologist he prescribed me SPSG and narcolepsy test. I got SPSG test but it was unsuccessful because I couldn't sleep whole night and I was unable to get test again because it's expensive. Then doctor suggested me BIPAP machine but It was very uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep then he prescribed me modafinil tablet but tablet is increasing my heartbeat. Don't know how to cure this problem.
Given your persistent symptoms and unsuccessful treatments, I recommend consulting a sleep specialist for a comprehensive evaluation, possibly considering alternative testing methods or seeking a second opinion to explore other underlying causes and treatments.
It aint that i feel tiree and oht of energy through the day, i just have crazy thoughts and just want to get rid of everyone surrounding me so i just sleep alot cuz i aint want to see /do nothing, i just want to be gone, but at the same time i know im here and cant lay in bed all day so its fking annoying to wake up at 4pm
@lafit9821 It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of heavy emotions, and sleeping to escape them is understandable but also concerning. Hypersomnia, especially when linked to feelings of wanting to withdraw from everyone, might be connected to depression or another mental health issue. It’s really important to talk to someone-a mental health professional, a trusted friend, or family member-who can support you in finding healthier ways to cope with these feelings. You don’t have to face this alone.
@@Yvettep777 Several months back I was put on Armadafanil. The anxiety and nightmares I got from it were too much. I'm pretty much on nothing at this point. Hopefully you will find something that works.
I feel back pain and sleep i have vit 12 deficiency but I don't know is it reason or not but even after sleeping plenty of time i can't more than 1-2 hrs
Same here. Certain joint/general pains is what eventually leads to me oversleeping and taking naps at random and sometimes inconvenient times, but it also one of the better ways to alleviate some of the pain, so..
Can anyone help ... I have never been a fan of sleeping .. and I had trouble in past during my childhood as far as i can remember when when i put myself in bed my mind would wonder for a long time ... during my late teens i slipped and injured my back which caused me further sever sleep issues .. it went for 19 years and during covid who whole backache issue got resolved (miraculously) .. I can now put myself in bed and within minutes i can go to sleep. I go to bed earl and walk up very early too. However my routine in morning is to read book but as soon as i will read within 10 mins I would get sleepy. Then I take a quick nap, like 15 mins to 45mins max and back on my desk. Again I get sleepy even tough I get fairly good sleep at night. During day I get sleepy time to time even if i am in a meeting or at computer etc. Also i get sleepy during driving but for that I will simply pull over and take a quick nap. I was very high on coffee so I have completely quit coffee. Also I don't drink alcohol or fizzy drinks. Diet is good as I now fast between 9am till 6pm . But still I get sleepy throughout the day from time to time. Often I take power naps. They can go between 2 to 4 times a day sometimes. Can anyone help why its happening and how can i solve this ... Luckily I am self employed working from home so I don't have to answer boss. When I am doing physical work I don't get that sleepy but if tired then I need a power nap. During indoor hours I hardly get tired but sleepy quite often. If anyone has come across this and solved it then please let me know too. I probably need to start with Omega and Vitamin D . Apart from that I cant see where the problem comes from .. Your input will be highly appreciated. Thanks
It sounds like you may be experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness, which can be caused by various factors including sleep disorders, nutritional deficiencies, or lifestyle habits. Consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation is advisable to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years. With so much anxiety Not until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need
Experiencing prolonged sleep, such as 16 hours in a single day, may be indicative of hypersomnia, a condition characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness. While occasional changes in sleep patterns are common, persistent hypersomnia could be related to various factors such as sleep disorders, depression, or other medical conditions. It's essential to pay attention to any accompanying symptoms, changes in mood, or ongoing issues with excessive sleep and consider consulting with a healthcare professional. They can help identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate interventions or treatments based on a comprehensive assessment of your sleep patterns and overall health.
yeah no you don’t. when you have no quality of life to do literally anything at the age that you should be going out and having fun. and no one taking you seriously of how tired you are. and no matter where you are you need naps 2-5 times during the day to keep up w everyone. yeah. i don’t wish it upon anyone. finally just got diagnosed after months - years of this and i’m finally feeling normal and not like a zombie.
It's fun being mentally confused and exhausted throughout the day and considered lazy by people because you're still tired even though you "sleep enough". The low appetite becomes a feedback loop - tired because undernourished; undernourished because too tired to properly take care of self. Body and brain starts to suffer worse. Tired again

But when i happened to tell my doc that i was told to get cpap machine, and after a year no changes and not being able to stay awake longer then 4-6 hours, finally was able to figure out what it was. Meds are dang near life saving
I suffered with insomnia before I guess this is how my brain takes revenge
Very Nicely explained
Well good luck in getting anything prescribed to help it, they wont give you anything unless you get narcolepsy which is different to hypersomnia.
That’s so true ..
Just came to share the Buteyko method it helped me with my sleep disorders.
Thanks for sharing!
I found it very helpful thanks for the video.

It's essential to address changes in sleep patterns; consider consulting a healthcare professional to identify underlying causes and regain your energy. ❤️

I'm sorry to hear that and that it's affecting your daily life. Please consult with a healthcare professional who can properly evaluate your symptoms and provide guidance tailored to your specific situation
@@MedicalCentric Thanks a lot for Your recommendation🙂🙂
In the last frame, the doctor himself drinking at the bar 😂
Excessive sleepiness can have causes that aren't due to underlying diease.
I’m in the army I think It ruined me forever I sleep way too much and still wake up tired I even jolt awake throughout the night :( I’m never well rested
I was in the army for 3 weeks and the lack of sleep nearly killed me
I feel always sleepy even i sleep well at night and have enough sleep
Nice
I tend to sleep more but I don't think I have hypersomnia
My father had been operated because of intercranial aneurysm and now, i think he has this because he is always sleeping. I dont know what to do. We are having a hard time feeding him and taking his medicines because of this
I'm facing this satiuton after 8 hours of night sleep I'm still feeling very tired 😫 sleepy my eyes closing every single movement 😞
HOOKWORM AND LYME DISEASE WILL DO IT!
Which doctor should we go to
The witch doctor
@@bobbyboucher6661 Which Witch Doctor?
You can try someone specialised in neurology
Somnologist
sleep medicine doctor! but normally you need a referral to get into one, so you have to see your normal family physician first
What's the difference between hypersomnia and narcolepsi?
Narcolepsy involves falling asleep suddenly and uncontrollably even when not tired, hypersomnias usually feel so tired they can't help but fall asleep but they're aware that they're falling asleep.
Nice explanation sir.
Im tired of been tired😢😢😢😢 allways want to sleep 😢
@missv92 Feeling constantly tired due to hypersomnia is incredibly challenging. 😢 It's important to seek medical advice to explore potential treatments and lifestyle changes that can help you manage this condition better. You're not alone in this-there's hope for relief and more energy in your days ahead! 💪
Function definitely impared; buddy forgot to wear his shoes to work today.
Hypersomnia, characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness or prolonged nighttime sleep, can severely impair daily functioning. This condition may cause difficulty concentrating, memory issues, and unusual behaviors, such as forgetting basic tasks like wearing shoes to work. It often requires medical evaluation to determine underlying causes and appropriate treatment. Please consult your health care professional
I have been sleeping for 20 hrs, at first i thought i was just tired, a day like this is normal but now it has become a routine the my sleep timing is being stretching to the point that i am unable to performa my basic routine functions.
I have this too
Same
Same but it's 14 hours 😪
I sleep so much I don't know if it is caused by my depression or by a physical disease I feel always sleepy I sleep at least 17 hours a day
Please give some food that decrease hypersomnia
Me too brother 😭
You good now?

I have same issue since 4 years. I sleep for 12 13 hours but still feel sleepy whole day and also take a nap in the afternoon. I consulted neurologist he prescribed me antidepressants but they helped me little bit and I didn't recover fully. Then I consulted pulmonologist he prescribed me SPSG and narcolepsy test. I got SPSG test but it was unsuccessful because I couldn't sleep whole night and I was unable to get test again because it's expensive. Then doctor suggested me BIPAP machine but It was very uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep then he prescribed me modafinil tablet but tablet is increasing my heartbeat. Don't know how to cure this problem.
Given your persistent symptoms and unsuccessful treatments, I recommend consulting a sleep specialist for a comprehensive evaluation, possibly considering alternative testing methods or seeking a second opinion to explore other underlying causes and treatments.
@@MedicalCentric recently sleep specialist has recommended me methylphenidate.
It aint that i feel tiree and oht of energy through the day, i just have crazy thoughts and just want to get rid of everyone surrounding me so i just sleep alot cuz i aint want to see /do nothing, i just want to be gone, but at the same time i know im here and cant lay in bed all day so its fking annoying to wake up at 4pm
@lafit9821 It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of heavy emotions, and sleeping to escape them is understandable but also concerning. Hypersomnia, especially when linked to feelings of wanting to withdraw from everyone, might be connected to depression or another mental health issue. It’s really important to talk to someone-a mental health professional, a trusted friend, or family member-who can support you in finding healthier ways to cope with these feelings. You don’t have to face this alone.
Diagnosed with hypersomnia. Prescribed modafinil. Doesn't work
It DOES NOT work at all
@@Yvettep777 Several months back I was put on Armadafanil. The anxiety and nightmares I got from it were too much. I'm pretty much on nothing at this point.
Hopefully you will find something that works.
@@bluestorm9651did u manage to find a way around it? maybe something u do that helps?

I feel back pain and sleep i have vit 12 deficiency but I don't know is it reason or not but even after sleeping plenty of time i can't more than 1-2 hrs
Same here. Certain joint/general pains is what eventually leads to me oversleeping and taking naps at random and sometimes inconvenient times, but it also one of the better ways to alleviate some of the pain, so..
@@NadewyUFO yes but oversleeping causes ecxessive time loss i generally feel pain in tarsals and then i give up and start falling asleep.
Can anyone help ... I have never been a fan of sleeping .. and I had trouble in past during my childhood as far as i can remember when when i put myself in bed my mind would wonder for a long time ... during my late teens i slipped and injured my back which caused me further sever sleep issues .. it went for 19 years and during covid who whole backache issue got resolved (miraculously) .. I can now put myself in bed and within minutes i can go to sleep. I go to bed earl and walk up very early too. However my routine in morning is to read book but as soon as i will read within 10 mins I would get sleepy. Then I take a quick nap, like 15 mins to 45mins max and back on my desk. Again I get sleepy even tough I get fairly good sleep at night. During day I get sleepy time to time even if i am in a meeting or at computer etc. Also i get sleepy during driving but for that I will simply pull over and take a quick nap. I was very high on coffee so I have completely quit coffee. Also I don't drink alcohol or fizzy drinks. Diet is good as I now fast between 9am till 6pm . But still I get sleepy throughout the day from time to time. Often I take power naps. They can go between 2 to 4 times a day sometimes. Can anyone help why its happening and how can i solve this ... Luckily I am self employed working from home so I don't have to answer boss. When I am doing physical work I don't get that sleepy but if tired then I need a power nap. During indoor hours I hardly get tired but sleepy quite often. If anyone has come across this and solved it then please let me know too. I probably need to start with Omega and Vitamin D . Apart from that I cant see where the problem comes from .. Your input will be highly appreciated. Thanks
It sounds like you may be experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness, which can be caused by various factors including sleep disorders, nutritional deficiencies, or lifestyle habits. Consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation is advisable to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
Can you make a video about depression😢
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years.
With so much anxiety Not until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean.
Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episodeenough to start working on my mental health
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need

I just slept like 16 hours the other day.
Experiencing prolonged sleep, such as 16 hours in a single day, may be indicative of hypersomnia, a condition characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness. While occasional changes in sleep patterns are common, persistent hypersomnia could be related to various factors such as sleep disorders, depression, or other medical conditions. It's essential to pay attention to any accompanying symptoms, changes in mood, or ongoing issues with excessive sleep and consider consulting with a healthcare professional. They can help identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate interventions or treatments based on a comprehensive assessment of your sleep patterns and overall health.
Orrrrr…getting a CPAP machine!
CPAP is mostly for sleep apnea
DEXADRINE
Damn the only cure is stimulants? That sounds like the road to drug addiction
I’ll stick with three white monsters and an echelon drink
Whis i had this condition 🥺
wtf no you dont. that is a rude thing to say
yeah no you don’t. when you have no quality of life to do literally anything at the age that you should be going out and having fun. and no one taking you seriously of how tired you are. and no matter where you are you need naps 2-5 times during the day to keep up w everyone. yeah. i don’t wish it upon anyone. finally just got diagnosed after months - years of this and i’m finally feeling normal and not like a zombie.
@@paigelarkins9514Glad you feel better. i suffer from it sadly and i’m still on my way to find a solution,can you share some info about a cure?
@@paigelarkins9514what helped for you?
It's fun being mentally confused and exhausted throughout the day and considered lazy by people because you're still tired even though you "sleep enough". The low appetite becomes a feedback loop - tired because undernourished; undernourished because too tired to properly take care of self. Body and brain starts to suffer worse. Tired again
