Fatigue and Excessive Sleep

Finds it DIFFICULT to get out of bed in the morning????

If so, you can suffer from excessive sleepiness where a condition that can significantly reduce quality of life, decrease productivity and interfere with relationships. Most people feel tired occasionally, but excessive sleepiness that persists is neither normal nor healthy.

The CAUSES :


  1. Self-imposed sleep deprivation.
  2. Working at night and sleeping during the day can also cause excessive sleepiness. Some people are able to adjust to such a schedule. However, others may never overcome the body's natural tendency to be awake during the day and sleep at night.
  3. Also linked with a number of primary sleep disorders (eg : snoring and obstructive sleep).
  4. Insomnia which may include difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, and/or waking up still tired as well as daytime impairments. 
There has a way to overcome this sleepiness, TREATMENT :

  1. Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, even on the weekends.
  2.  Developing a regular, relaxing bedtime routine.
  3. Create a sleep environment that is dark, quiet, comfortable and slightly cool.
  4. Removing all work materials, televisions, phones and other distractions from the bedroom.

Hope for those who have this sleepiness, try and get a better routine sleep. Not excluding myself too....
