**Which one should you do if you have Idiopathic Hypersomnia? I found it best to speak with your doctor about how to pursue academic accommodations. Unless there is a serious intellectual disability, the 504-Plan seems to be sufficient accommodations for those with Idiopathic Hypersomnia. I personally requested the following: time-and-half for assignments and tests, isolated testing, ability to copy classmates notes, and __ amount of tardies". Others have asked for standing/walking privileges to prevent sleepiness, or a tap on the shoulder from the teacher if the student is showing signs of sleepiness in class. Employee/Work
FMLA with Intermittent Leave

I fell asleep multiple times and woke up only to find myself asleep at my countertop. Or the time I told myself I would make my first post after I showered then almost fell asleep in my towel. All in all, every small spurt of energy I could spare after my work week, I put into Sleep and Bleep. Honestly, the name is supposed to be sleep and Sh*t, but that doesn't rhyme so fill in whatever inappropriate word you are feeling today. Because lets be honest here...Living with Idiopathic Hypersomnia can be a real *BLEEP* sometimes. Anyways, welcome. Actual Blog posts are on their way. I hope you all stay safe and keep advocating for yourself in the meantime.
