Idiopathic Hypersomnia is a sleep disorder where the sufferer sleeps too much and feels very tired during the day. As well, hypersomniacs often have a hard time waking up and will have to devise elaborate systems of alarm clocks to wake up. Even after someone with this disorder wakes up they may experience sleep inertia. 

Narcolepsy is the sleep disorder that is most similar to Idiopathic Hypersomnia because of the symptoms of over sleeping and day time drowsiness that are associated with both. However, narcoleptics usually feel refreshed after naps and someone with hypersomnia would not. 

Though insomnia and hypersomnia are polar opposites they are both common symptoms in some other mental disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder or Bipolar Disorder. 

Symptoms:

• Very sleepy during the day time even when getting adequate sleep at night 
• Difficulty waking from sleep
• Sleeping 14-18 hours per day
• Day time naps don’t relieve drowsiness

AND AND AND! Look how happy that kid is petting the soft, big puppy! You can raise all the money in the world, but that kid will NEVER forget being able to pet the big puppy. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why I stay a furry, despite all the negative connotations of the group. And yes, that money for charity, it’s amazing stuff.

Thought it was interesting to reblog all these listed charities. I was wondering which specific ones conventions had donated to. 

This makes me happy.

In the UK there is a con to raise money for protecting Scottish Wildcats

Always nice to see this circle back to my dash.
