Why Do I Feel Dizzy and Constantly Want to Sleep?

The feeling of constant drowsiness and head heaviness is mostly caused by long-term emotional stress and anxiety, high pressure, excessive mental labor, excessive worry, poor sleep, cold wind stimulation, and other reasons.

This condition is caused by cerebrovascular spasms leading to insufficient blood supply to the brain, accompanied by dizziness. It is mostly caused by long-term emotional stress and anxiety, high pressure, excessive mental labor, excessive worry, poor sleep, cold wind stimulation, and other reasons. Ordinary drug treatment is not effective, and patients may experience recurrent headaches, dizziness, decreased memory, emotional dysregulation, sleep disorders, anxiety, irritability, or depressive symptoms.

If the dizziness is severe, it is recommended to rest in bed as much as possible, and when getting up and going to bed, movements should be slow as the balance system needs time to adapt. Conversely, if the dizziness persists (especially for more than one month), appropriate exercise should be maintained because inactivity at this point can lead to physical degradation and imbalance in the balance system. Therefore, it is not advisable to lie down and do nothing. If the dizziness lasts for more than two weeks, it is recommended to seek medical attention. If the problem persists or is severe, further examination by a doctor is necessary. Generally, ordinary acute dizziness usually lasts for one to two weeks and disappears. If it persists for longer, it is advisable to consult a doctor as soon as possible. Patients usually need to undergo tests such as blood hemoglobin, blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar, and may even need to undergo auditory tests or head scans.
