What are some natural cures for hypersomnia?

Sometimes I sleep more than twelve hours per day. It's really disruptive to my life and I want to be able to stay awake and do things. However, I also really don't like stimulant medication. What are some natural cures or treatments for hypersomnia?

You must first determine the cause and treat the cause. The most common treatment for hypersomnia is a medication, Nuvigil or Provigil. Sleepiness could be from sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome. Remember, if you treat the cause, you most likely won't need medication.
