What's up with people who love to sleep

Many people in life know that being able to sleep well is a happy thing. Insomnia can be said to be a very uncomfortable thing for people, but God often likes to play jokes on people. Sleeping well and loving to sleep are different. We also know that reasonable sleep is healthy for the body, but what is the matter with loving to sleep, that is, sleeping frequently? What effect does it have on our body? What should we do when we discover this problem?

1. What is the reason why people love to sleep?

People who always love to sleep are suffering from central nervous system diseases:

Insufficient sleep quality or quantity, such as insufficient sleep time or intermittent sleep (sleep apnea or psychosomatic disorder); disordered interaction between the biological clock and the global environment; the influence of drugs.

Excessive daytime sleepiness has been linked to factors including depression, diabetes, and obesity.

Alcohol can also excite the brain and accelerate blood circulation, but it has a strong anesthetic effect and can also make people sleepy. As for food, eating too much can cause a temporary lack of blood supply to the brain and make people feel sleepy.

High-calorie, high-fat foods are not suitable for people with poor gastrointestinal function or obesity, and normal people will feel sleepy if they eat them without restraint.

If you often feel tired and sleepy, you should eat more spleen-strengthening foods, such as broad beans, lentils, yam, chicken, shrimp, hairtail, red dates, chestnuts, glutinous rice, etc., and avoid cold foods, such as raw and cold fruits, crab meat, duck eggs, etc.

2. Reasons for loving to sleep

Excessive daytime sleepiness is a major sign of disrupted or insufficient sleep. According to a random survey conducted by scientists, 8.7% of people felt excessively sleepy during the day. Daytime sleepiness may be caused by:

1. Poor sleep at night or too short sleep time;

2 Neurasthenia, poor rest at night, poor spirits during the day, leading to biological clock disorder;

3. Sleep apnea, i.e. snoring and intermittent breathing during sleep;

4. Suffering from narcolepsy; Narcolepsy usually starts after puberty, usually between the ages of 15 and 25. The main symptom is daytime sleepiness, which manifests as drowsiness regardless of time and place. For example, when talking to guests or listening to important reports, the patient will suddenly yawn and fall asleep on his side. Even if a sleep attack occurs while riding a bicycle, as soon as the bicycle is parked, the patient will fall to the ground and fall asleep. After sleeping for 10 to 20 minutes, everything will be normal when he wakes up, but he may have another attack after 2 to 3 hours. Narcolepsy generally does not cause other organic diseases, but it can cause cataplexy and be dangerous. Early treatment is recommended to prevent the disease from progressing;

5. Obesity: Being overweight can also increase excessive daytime sleepiness;

6. Depression: It may be the main cause of excessive daytime sleepiness. Among people who are treated for depression, the chance of feeling excessive daytime sleepiness is three times higher than normal.

7 Diabetes: The survey also found that excessive daytime sleepiness is closely related to diabetes. People who were being treated for diabetes were nearly twice as likely to experience excessive daytime sleepiness as those who were not being treated for diabetes.

8 Malnutrition: Eating less and malnutrition can easily lead to drowsiness. Eating more protein can improve the situation; therefore, if middle-aged people always love to sleep, they should first look for the above reasons, especially excluding some pathological reasons. For those without obvious reasons, there is no need to worry. You need to readjust your life, concentrate on work during the day, arrange some activities of interest, and strengthen physical exercise. You can take a short nap at noon, and ensure the quality of sleep at night so that you will have plenty of energy during the day.
