What is the cause of daytime sleepiness and what are the dangers

Daytime sleepiness may be a disease. Different from wanting to sleep during the day, daytime sleepiness refers to exceeding the normal sleep time. You may need to sleep for more than ten hours during the day, which is far longer than the normal sleep time. The main cause of daytime sleepiness is hypersomnia syndrome, which requires timely medical treatment to alleviate and control the condition to prevent it from gradually worsening.

1. What causes daytime sleepiness?

Hypersomnia is a neurological disorder that causes the onset of uncontrollable sleep. These sleep stages occur frequently and tend to occur at inopportune times, such as when talking, eating, or driving. Although sleep can occur at any time, it most often occurs during periods of inactivity or monotonous, repetitive activity.

Hypersomnia usually first occurs in the age group of 15 to 30 years old, but some people may experience hypersomnia earlier or later. Once you develop sleepiness, it will stay with you for the rest of your life. Men and women are affected to the same extent.

The first symptom of hypersomnia is usually severe daytime sleepiness. However, it may take years to confirm that a person actually has the disorder, as there are many other causes of excessive daytime sleepiness that can produce this symptom.

2. How to improve daytime sleepiness

1. Adhere to a regular schedule and develop relaxing sleeping habits, such as taking a hot bath; 2. Design the bedroom to be a place where people want to sleep, and avoid noise or other disturbances in the bedroom; 3. Avoid eating foods containing caffeine before going to bed, such as coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate, etc.
