Hypersomnia in Depression Support†
Quick call • No obligation • Speak directly with our team
When you have hypersomnia with depression, you sleep for hours but never feel rested. You wake up exhausted, need naps during the day, and still feel like you're moving through fog. Your thinking is slow and nothing feels motivating. EXOMIND uses a personalized brain map to deliver gentle, medication-free stimulation to areas of your brain that regulate sleep quality, alertness, and mood. The goal is to help you wake up feeling more refreshed, stay alert during the day, and think more clearly.
Why People Choose EXOMIND
Noninvasive and medication-free — fully awake, no anesthesia, and generally well-tolerated.
Care is tailored to your mood, energy, sleep, and daily goals
Brief daytime sessions, typically over a few weeks
Designed to work alongside your existing care, not replace it
Who It May Help
- Sleeping long hours yet waking unrefreshed
- Daytime sleepiness that makes it hard to function or stay engaged
- Low drive, slowed thinking, or brain fog tied to depressive symptoms
- You want treatment that may complement, not replace, your current routine.
What Sessions Feel Like
You recline comfortably, fully awake and at ease — no anesthesia, no recovery time. A refined tapping is delivered over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a region involved in attention, arousal regulation, and mood. When the session ends, you simply continue onwards with your day. Early changes are often subtle but meaningful: a touch more morning alertness, fewer mid-day crashes, and steadier momentum. Across the series, those quiet shifts tend to accumulate — restoring clarity, energy, and follow-through in a way that feels natural rather than forced.
Safety & Candidacy
Before treatment begins, your health history is carefully reviewed to ensure this approach is appropriate for you. Some people notice mild scalp tenderness or a brief headache at first — typically short-lived and self-resolving. If you are already in therapy, on medication, or under the care of another specialist, you may continue those supports unless there is a specific safety reason to modify them.

Frequently Asked Questions
1How many sessions do people usually get?
For hypersomnia in depression, we typically begin with a 6-session package and then individualize the plan based on your goals and response. Some people choose occasional boosters over time if symptoms begin to creep back.
2How fast will I feel anything?
For some, the first changes are small: slightly deeper, more consolidated sleep; steadier morning alertness; or fewer daytime dips. Improvements often build more steadily over time.
3Do I have to change my medications or stop therapy?
No. EXOMIND is designed to complement existing care, not replace it. Whether it eventually augments or allows adjustment of other therapies is determined individually. Changes are only made when medically appropriate and discussed with you in advance.
4Will I be okay to drive or work after a session?
Most people go right back to normal life. If you feel briefly tired or headachy, resting for a short period is usually enough.
5How do you know where to target?
EXOMIND maps the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) within minutes — painless and individualized to your anatomy. From that map, treatment is delivered using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with precise, targeted therapeutics tailored to your brain.
6How do payments work?
EXOMIND Santa Monica operates as a direct-pay practice. Fees and options are reviewed with you in advance, so every decision is transparent and nothing is unexpected.
You're not broken. Your brain is tired.
We'll listen, map your brain, and build a plan to help restore calm, focus, and clear thinking — in real life, not in theory.
