Hypersomnia refers to a condition of excessive daytime sleepiness or prolonged nighttime sleep not explained by lack of rest. It may occur as a primary disorder or secondary to other causes such as sleep apnea, depression, head injury, metabolic disorders, neurological disease, or certain medications. Patients often experience difficulty waking up, constant fatigue, cognitive dullness, irritability, and poor concentration, even after adequate sleep. Unlike normal tiredness, hypersomnia represents a pathological drive to sleep that interferes with daily function and productivity. Conventional management includes sleep hygiene improvement, stimulant therapy, and treating underlying causes, whereas Homoeopathy provides a safe, holistic, and individualized solution to restore natural sleep balance and vitality.

In homoeopathy, hypersomnia is viewed as a vital energy imbalance manifesting through nervous exhaustion, emotional strain, or metabolic sluggishness. Remedies are selected based on causative factors, sleep characteristics, and general constitution. The goal is to revitalize the nervous system, regulate sleep-wake rhythm, and restore mental alertness without dependency on stimulants. Homoeopathic medicines act gently, correcting both physical and psychological aspects of the condition, ensuring long-term improvement in energy, focus, and well-being.
