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. The IHAW will start with the IH Day on June 1st and will conclude on June 7th 2024. 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. #ThisIsIH
