Hypersomnia sometimes occurs along with depression, anxiety and mood disorders. It may be hard to tell if hypersomnia is a cause or a symptom in some cases.4‘Hypersomnia: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments.’ Sleep Foundation, 11 Feb. 2021, www.sleepfoundation.org/hypersomnia
People with hypersomnia may feel irritable and agitated or lose patience with others. Mood swings may be extreme and create difficulties in personal and social relationships. Hypersomnia may contribute to seasonal affective disorder if extended sleep hours limit exposure to sunlight.1Miglis, Mitchell G., et al. ‘Frequency and Severity of Autonomic Symptoms in Idiopathic Hypersomnia.’ Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, 15 May 2020, jcsm.aasm.org/doi/10.5664/jcsm.8344
