Idiopathic HypersomNIA
Definition;
Idiopathic Hypersomnia (IH) is a sleep disorder in which a person is excessively sleepy during the day and has great difficulty being awakened from sleep. Idiopathic means there is nor a known cause.
So I, as a new comic illustrator, created a short 3-panel comic that describes how it feels like having IH myself and how it effects my everyday life.
​
I want to share awareness of this condition, and I hope you do too.
​
So follow my comic in Tapastic or...
New strip every Friday if my IH doesn't come on the way.

"Idiopathic Hypersomnia is one of the most misunderstood and under-researched sleep disorders. Many (including doctors) incorrectly think it refers to any case of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) that cannot be explained by another preexisting medical condition, sleep disorder or by lifestyle or behaviour. This is not correct. Idiopathic Hypersomnia is characterised by a number of symptoms and clinical features. Daytime sleepiness is just one of them."
