I fell asleep and couldn't wake up

Many people have had the experience of falling asleep and feeling unable to wake up. In fact, this is generally a phenomenon of single cerebral cortex excitation. If the body is not tired after waking up, it is generally a normal phenomenon. This symptom is mostly caused by mental stress, overwork, or hunger. If you have this symptom frequently, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

What are the reasons why men are tired?

1. Taking medication

Taking diuretics, antidepressants, certain cold medicines, or cough syrups can cause fatigue. Generally, fatigue disappears after stopping the medication.

2. Lack of exercise

People have a misconception that exercise makes them tired. But the opposite is true. Without exercise, muscles become weaker and the body has to exert more effort to use them.

3. Excessive obesity

Being overweight is a heavy burden on the human body, and excess fat on the body can make people feel tired.

4. Psychological problems

Depression is the most common cause of fatigue. Bad mood and excessive stress can also lead to poor sleep and cause fatigue.

5. Sleep problems

Some people often use the weekends to sleep in, and argue that this is to recharge their energy. Little do people know that going to bed late and getting up late disrupts the biological clock and directly affects the mental state.

6. Malnutrition

If your daily diet is mainly composed of processed foods, your body will feel tired. You might as well eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, chicken, whole grains and beans.

7. Gloomy environment

If the surrounding environment is dark and gloomy, you are prone to fatigue. Therefore, adding yellow, orange, red and other tones to the work and study environment will help eliminate fatigue.

What diseases can you get from overwork?

1. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Among people who die from overwork, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the most common causes of death. Many overworked white-collar workers suffer from diseases such as myocardial infarction at a young age and rescue is ineffective.

If people are in a state of tension and overwork for a long time, their sympathetic nerves will always be excited, which can easily cause damage to the vascular endothelium, cause arteriosclerosis, and gradually progress to unstable plaques. When combined with thrombosis, it will cause myocardial infarction. Among the young people who are suffering from sudden cardiovascular death nowadays, some may have previously suffered from non-specific symptoms of heart disease such as chest tightness and fatigue, but these symptoms have not attracted enough attention from the patients. Coupled with fatigue, smoking, and irregular lifestyle, they may suffer from sudden cardiovascular death.

2. Pulmonary embolism

Among people who die suddenly from overwork, in addition to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, pulmonary embolism is also one of the causes of sudden death. Pulmonary embolism develops very rapidly, but many people do not understand this disease and mistakenly believe it to be other illnesses. People who overwork are not only at risk of cardiovascular disease, but are also likely to suffer from pulmonary embolism, especially white-collar workers who sit in the office for a long time. White-collar workers sit still for long periods of time, which can easily lead to blood clots in their legs. When the venous blood clots flow back through the heart to the lungs, they cause pulmonary embolism and lead to death. Many white-collar workers feel swollen and numb legs, but they do not realize that blood clots have formed. Therefore, white-collar workers should get up and move around for a few minutes after working for about an hour to prevent blood clots in the legs.

3. Stomach disease

Faced with busy work and stressful life pressures, urbanites often eat whatever they can to cope with the situation, or are simply too busy to have time to eat, and stomach problems follow. Many white-collar workers have experienced stomach acid and stomach pain. Most people think that minor stomach problems are not a big deal and will get better after a while, and will definitely not lead to "death from overwork."

In fact, if a minor stomach problem is not treated in time, it can easily develop into a serious stomach disease. For example, chronic gastritis is prone to complications of ulcer disease. If ulcer disease is not treated in time, or if overeating, alcoholism, excessive fatigue, and unreasonable use of drugs are used, they can cause digestive tract rupture and bleeding. Gastric problems can also cause acute perforation, pyloric obstruction and even cancer, so white-collar workers should not ignore minor stomach pains.
