Why Do I Feel Sleepy Frequently?
If there is a frequent feeling of drowsiness for a long time, it will have a negative impact on physical health and also affect life and work. Frequent drowsiness is considered to be caused by short sleep duration, poor sleep quality, abnormal blood sugar and lipids, narcolepsy, depression, and stress.
1. Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality. Many young people become more excited at night or stay out late, and wake up early the next morning to work, sleeping less than 7 hours, and some even less than 5 hours. Lack of sufficient sleep makes it easy to feel sleepy during the day. In addition, some people have poor sleep quality, often dreaming and snoring during sleep, and feeling tired when they wake up the next day. Over a long period of time, this naturally leads to lethargy and symptoms of dizziness. If not adjusted, it can lead to neurasthenia.
2. Abnormal blood sugar and lipids. If you always feel sleepy and lack energy, it may be caused by blood lipid and blood sugar issues. If it is due to hypoglycemia, small meals should be eaten frequently to reduce the occurrence of hypoglycemia. If it is due to high blood lipids, simvastatin can be taken as a treatment drug under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Narcolepsy. Loss of energy and sleepiness are not always single symptoms, but may also be part of other physical illnesses, such as infectious diseases, endocrine diseases, metabolic disorders, or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, if you feel sleepy and tired for a long time, you should be alert, go to the hospital for examination, and find out the cause of the disease so that targeted treatment can be carried out in time.
4. Depression and stress. People with depression or high stress often have random thoughts in life. Whenever this happens, they will lose their pursuit of life and lack the motivation to be positive and upward. They are in a daze all day, their thoughts are unstable, and their spirit is exhausted. The chance of feeling sleepy is higher.
