      Hypersomnolence is a condition where a person experiences significant episodes of sleepiness, even after having 7 hours or more of quality sleep. Other terms used to describe hypersomnolence include excessive daytime sleepiness, excessive daytime somnolence, and hypersomnia. Is hypersomnolence normal? what could be other reasons?

        @harup Many people find themselves sleep-deprived or excessively tired at various times in their lives. On the other hand, a person with hypersomnolence can feel the need to sleep even after they have slept well for the recommended number of hours. Hypersomnolence can be problematic because it affects a person’s abilities at work and school. It can also affect their safety while driving and can be an indicator of an underlying medical disorder. Risk factors for a person developing hypersomnolence include:
        stress
        excessive alcohol consumption
        previous history of viral infection
        previous history of head trauma
        family history of hypersomnolence
        medical history of depression, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer’s disease, or Parkinson’s disease
