Hypersomnia: Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis
A person is considered to have hypersomnia if they sleep more than 10 hours per day on a regular basis for at least two weeks.
Complications / Issues
People who are overweight are more likely than others to suffer from hypersomnia, and this can often exacerbate their weight problems as their excessive sleep patterns mean they will use up less energy (burn less calories), making it even harder for them to lose weight.
Treatment
Hypersomnia can be treated with stimulants, such as Modafinil.
Prevention
The best way to prevent the onset of the symptoms and complications of Hypersomnia is for the sufferer to maintain a healthy weight, and, if they suffer from depression, seek medical help to treat the depression.

Therefore it is wise to see that whether your heating system is causing your room environment to be dry or humid. |
