Why?
It's simple, sleepiness comes when someone feels like sleeping. When we are hungry we need to eat, and when we feel thirsty we need to drink.
Sleepiness is an alarm from our body that it feels tired and needs rest. When we are sleepy, we are advised to sleep, because when we sleep, the body uses fatigue substances, or lactic acid, to be processed again by the liver, into new energy reserves.
Sleepiness should disappear when someone has had enough sleep at night. However, now many people feel excessively sleepy, especially during the day when they are doing activities.
Have You Ever Felt Excessively Sleepy?
"Yes, sometimes I do".
Usually Under What Circumstances?
"For example, when you are working, but usually because you may not be sleeping soundly. So it's not just because you are working, sometimes you are also in a vehicle. For example, on a motorbike or whatever, it feels like aduuhhhh you want to stop for 5 minutes to close your eyes".
What Effects Do You Feel When Excessive Sleepiness Strikes?
"Not having a clear concentration, yes, if that happens during work hours. Then the body feels a bit sore, then after waking up, the eyes are open, there is a slight dizziness in the head. That is also a bit disturbing, because it seems like you can't hold back the sleepiness".
Being sleepy not at bedtime, is a complaint of some people. However, actually, sleepiness can be a sign of a sleep disorder that causes several other diseases.
The normal sleep time for adults is 7-9 days a day. In order not to feel sleepy not at the right time, the quality of sleep is also good. If you have had enough sleep, but still feel sleepy, be careful, maybe you are experiencing hypersomnia.
Hypersomnia can interfere with a person's quality of life and productivity. Hypersomnia is also an indication of sleep apnea. "Hypersomnia, which is a sleep duration but still sleepy, we must be suspicious of certain sleep disorders. For example, narcolepsy, or sleep apnea. Well, narcolepsy is excessive sleepiness, this is so great, that people can fall asleep at any time, quote "Sleep teen", accompanied by sleep paralysis, which is like a height, if our society knows. Then this is marked by legs that move erode while sleeping. The last one that is actually the most often experienced by people is sleep apnea. It means stopping breathing while sleeping." What is it marked by, besides excessive sleepiness?
"Snoring."
Lack of quality sleep or rest due to sleep apnea can trigger other diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, various heart diseases, strokes, and sexual disorders. And the worst can cause death.
"Stop breathing while sleeping, imagine a blocked throat. The chest keeps going up and down, right? As a result, the pressure in the chest is high. High pressure in the chest will suppress the work of the heart, so that the heart works hard while sleeping. Well, this is what results in various heart diseases. Not to mention the sufferer wakes up... Wakes up.... Wakes up, and the oxygen level drops, goes up, goes down, goes up. Well, this is what causes oxidative stress. So this body is as if in a state of stress."
From the results of research data, every year it is estimated that 20%-50% of adults experience sleep disorders, and around 17% of them experience serious sleep disorders.
To overcome hypersomnia, there are many ways that can be done. In addition to restoring a good sleep pattern, do regular exercise, and eat food with good nutritional intake.
Finally, check your complaints with a doctor, so that treatment for sleep disorders can be carried out properly.
By having healthy sleep, the quality of life will also increase. So, resting yourself with sleep will promise us to get health and happiness.
Greetings always compact.
