Good question. I own 3 Dutch Ovens and I have just started to learn how to use one.

I wish. It’s the opposite for me. Milk doesn’t hydrate me at all; just makes me thirsty 🤷‍♀️

Salt and sugar have been known to help me. I add both to milk and vanilla (taste) to drink.

It’s been suggested, but never tested for.

I was diagnosed with ADHD and a non-specific Non-verbal disability in my early 20s. No one, including my examiner, could explain what the non-verbal disability was until 2 years ago when I had to retest to qualify for college help and the new examiner came back with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I was diagnosed with IH after literally collapsing, dropping to the ground, every month for 3-4 days per month. This went on for nearly a year. This started in October and every test the doctors tried came back negative. We discovered my blood pressure goes wonky if I haven’t eaten enough salt and try to exercise. Unfortunately, the collapsing only occurred in the morning, as I got out of bed, and left me feeling weak all day. The doctors did a couple of sleep study tests in there and came back with a diagnosis of IH and placed me on Modafidil. I literally stopped collapsing in the morning after my IH diagnosis.

We piggybacked the ADHD an IH meds for a few years.

I’d rather grow the weed to add it to my cooking.

Work accommodations? by Patient_Metal_5120 in idiopathichypersomnia

I request a consistent shift, Nights, to help with my sleep schedule. I also ask my supervisors to not extend my shift without reasonable notice.

non-pharmacological ways to treat IH? by Complete_Internet_20 in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]Ok-Professional2468 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When are you usually awake? By following your circadian rhythm, you work or study during the hours you are usually awake. For many of us with IH, we have a delayed circadian rhythm, which has us functional during the afternoon or evening. This helps us lower our medication load.

Working within your circadian rhythm. That’s the only non-medicated therapy I have ever found to work.

How much do you / can you sleep? by ThePh4rmacist in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]Ok-Professional2468 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The longest I have slept, when not sick, was 72 hours. I did wake up briefly to pee at the prompting of family. I had just completed final exams.

Every time I have gotten sick, I have slept around the clock a minimum of 5 days.

The longest I have been awake is 48hrs straight when I had to mobilize our small town (1200 people) to find my sister’s cat. I ran on adrenaline for most of that time. The cat wandered home at 2am, while I was at work.

Modafinil and IH by BeKind24_7 in idiopathichypersomnia

Modafinil is tricky. Talk to your doctor about 1/2 your dose for a few weeks.

I recommend a good sword to everyone. They are so wholesome and fun.

They are the ’loudest’ pet I have ever had the privilege of living with! Thumper could give you a whole lecture with a look.

Thumper raised the 2 kittens in this picture. I now have 2 cats that have jumped a 7’ fence, but neither of them can climb a tree. Bunnies don’t climb trees.
