We have talked extensively about Type 1 and Type 2 narcolepsy on the podcast, but what about its mysterious cousin idiopathic hypersomnia (IH)? What is IH and why is it so hard to diagnose? What is its relationship with narcolepsy, and how do we treat it? In this episode we will:

  • Define idiopathic hypersomnia
  • Look at its incidence rate next to narcolepsy
  • List the key characteristics that differentiate it from narcolepsy
  • Learn the factors that make it difficult to diagnose
  • Highlight the first FDA-approved treatment for the disorder
