Hypersomnia

The Hypersomnia Foundation strives to improve the lives of people with hypersomnia by advocating on their behalf, providing support, educating the public and healthcare professionals, raising awareness, and funding research into effective treatments, better diagnostic tools, and, ultimately, a cure for these debilitating conditions.

Hypersomnia is a debilitating neurological disorder where people lose their cognitive ability, sleep excessively, yet still crave sleep above all else. Visit www.hypersomniafoundation.org for more information.


Hypersomnolence Australia’s goal is to support the medical community work towards a better understanding of Idiopathic Hypersomnia, effective treatment options, and identifying biomarkers that will lead to more appropriate diagnostic tools and ultimately a cure for Idiopathic Hypersomnia. We are committed to being a strong advocate, raising awareness and educating others about Idiopathic Hypersomnia. Our goal is to not just change the process to diagnosis but also the level of care and services available to patients post diagnosis. Hypersomnolence Australia also hosts the international Idiopathic Hypersomnia Awareness Week held annually in the first full week in September.
