Episode 79 - on this episode we discuss what the hypersomnia condition classification is.  Why would we do this on a podcast where people have trouble sleeping because many people with hypersomnia (excessive sleepiness in the day) also have sleep disturbance at night making them wake up frequently.  Take a listen as we discuss the conditions.

**Key Topics Covered:**
1. **Introduction:** Discussion about past recording experiences and setting the stage for the episode.
2. **Personal Anecdotes:** The hosts share personal stories about air tagging kids and dealing with summer camps.
3. **Product Review:** Introduction and review of a new bio-freeze-like product line for pain relief, which includes a nighttime formula with ingredients like arnica flower, magnesium, hemp oil, and melatonin.
4. **Deep Dive into Hypersomnia:**
 - Explanation of hypersomnia and its classification.
 - Detailed discussion on narcolepsy (types 1 and 2) and cataplexy.
 - Diagnostic methods for narcolepsy, including sleep tests and multiple sleep latency tests.
 - Idiopathic hypersomnia and its challenges in treatment.
 - Lesser-known hypersomnias like Klein Levin Syndrome.
 - Hypersomnia due to medical disorders, medications, mental disorders, and insufficient sleep syndrome.
 - Discussion on long sleepers and how to manage schedules around sleep needs.
5. **Strategies for Better Sleep:** Importance of regular sleep and wake times, medication management, and lifestyle adaptations for better sleep health.
