Idiopathic Hypersomnia Day
June 7, 2025 | Seattle, Washington
ABOUT
Idiopathic Hypersomnia Day (IH Day) is devoted to informing and acknowledging idiopathic hypersomnia on a global scale. IH Day mobilizes the IH community to raise awareness, educate, and uplift the voices of those living with idiopathic hypersomnia.
IH Day is collaborating with Idiopathic Hypersomnia Awareness Week (IHAW) led by Hypersomnolence Australia. We are grateful to be partnering with Hypersomnolence Australia.
Together we hope this collaborative action will accelerate the diagnosis process, advance research to find the cause, and reduce stigma. #MoreThanIH
#MoreThanIH
This year’s theme for Idiopathic Hypersomnia Day (IH Day) is #MoreThanIH. Although being diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia is life-altering, we are more than our daily symptoms. We are more than our sleepiness. We are friends, siblings, creatives, jokesters, resilient, and so much more. This year we want to highlight this amazing community of sleepy people who deserve to be seen and understood beyond their sleepiness.
So please take a look at our initiatives and share who you are with the world.
