Chronic lack of sleep is a fairly common problem for many people. Especially workaholics. It also happens that a drowsy state literally haunts a person. A specialist explained the reasons for daytime sleepiness: it is caused by a lack of night sleep, brain damage or neurological problems.
Other causes include :
-
poor sleep hygiene - falling asleep in front of the TV or laptop, for example. The brain does not have time to process the information and tune in to the deep sleep phase.
-
chronic fatigue syndrome - a person is exhausted or stressed.
-
improper diet - after consuming a large amount of sugar, the blood is saturated with glucose. After this, a person feels a short-lived surge of energy, which is replaced by drowsiness.
You can combat daytime sleepiness in the following ways :
-
go to bed and wake up at the same fixed time;
-
go for morning walks;
-
do not drink alcohol and caffeine before bed;
-
have dinner 3-4 hours before going to bed;
-
exercise regularly.
