Hypersomnia
(hypersomnia
idiopathic )
is when you need to sleep
for a lot longer than ‘normal’,
yet don’t necessarily
feel that refreshed after sleeping.
It’s
not unusual to sleep for well
over 14 hours a day when
you first get Myalgic Encephalopathy
/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or whenever
you suffer from a severe flare or
relapse of the condition (hypersomnia
idiopathic ).
And
even while you’re recovering
from Myalgic Encephalopathy /Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome, you’re unlikely
to be able to stay up for a full 12-hour
day without having to take a nap or
two inbetween (hypersomnia
idiopathic ).
When you have a good patch, you’ll
feel less tired and will need to sleep
less. But remember – a good
patch can easily turn into a bad one
if you don’t pace yourself carefully…
Push
yourself too much mentally or physically,
or stay up for too long – and
that ‘good patch’ becomes
a distant memory. And hello relapse!
So
if you find that your hypersomnia
(hypersomnia
idiopathic )
is lifting and that you are able to
stay up for longer, be very
careful.
Don’t
spend all your energy at once –
pace yourself very carefully
or…
…
you’re likely to end up having
a relapse again!
