Brain Fog
People sometimes use the term brain fog to describe problems with memory, attention and concentration. Individuals affected by hypersomnia may experience brain fog, slurred speech, increased forgetfulness and excessively slow thought processes.2‘Hypersomnia Information Page.’ National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/All-Disorders/Hypersomnia-Information-Page
Hypersomnia may interfere with the ability to create new memories or recall past events. The disorder may also cause impaired judgment related to social interactions. Affected individuals may struggle to concentrate and have trouble learning new things at school or work.5‘About Idiopathic Hypersomnia.’ Hypersomnia Foundation, 4 June 2021, www.hypersomniafoundation.org/ih
