I volunteer to try it out. I have idiopathic hypersomnia and if I get even a few minutes short of what I’m supposed to it (seems to) hit me like when most people get a few hours short.

Seriously. Anyone in HN know how I could replicate this?



Re idiopathic hypersomnia: have you ruled out upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS)? Most standard sleep studies will miss it. It's often misdiagnosed as idiopathic hypersomnia or chronic fatigue syndrome.


FWIW, I have both IH and sleep apnea.

The CPAP helped a great amount, but even with CPAP and meds (Solriamfetol for fatigue/sleep inertia, Daridorexant for insomnia) I'm not very energized.


I'll look into it, although my issues seem to have started after a brain injury back when I was 12, so it's doubtful.

Expose yourself to lights and sounds turning on and off at 40hz?
