BONUS POST In the spirit of the IHAW (Idiopathic Hypersomnia Awareness Week), I'd like to thank everyone who ever supported me through this journey to getting my diagnosis, battling through different medications, and generally truly seeing my struggle.

That everyone for me, is my partner. The only person who ever stood by me...and I can't express by words how much it means to me that she stayed, understood, listened.

Many of us don't have that because people don't know about IH, or they never her us. They mirror their "tiredness" to ours, and mitigate our daily battle against sleep.

This week is about washing away the ignorance and bringing out the best in people. Showing light to us, to this disabling sleep disorder, and making sure that in the future there will be less people like those who push us down and call us "lazy" and "fakers" and more of those who notice how we are in pain, and occationally will nap with us.

If you are the latter, or just started to educate yourself about IH, thank you. You are wonderful human being.

Please share the message about IH and IHAW week and let the people be just a little better place for us who often don't get to enjoy it from these prisons of ours.

Thank you. <3
