Everyone remembers David Fincher's famous film Fight Club. The main character constantly wanted to sleep, and for everything else there was absolutely no desire. Many of us have also experienced this condition. What are its causes, and how to deal with it?
First of all, it must be said that if you, without determining why you want to sleep, solve the problem by drinking coffee, this will only aggravate the situation. This is a short-term salvation, and sooner or later even the miraculous drink will not be able to help you. Moreover, caffeine is addictive, which is comparable to drug addiction, which, obviously, will not benefit the body in any way.
So, they gave up coffee. But why do you want to sleep, especially when you need to do important things? One of the reasons may be a lack of vitamins in the body. Surely you have noticed that in autumn and spring it tends to sleep more than in summer and winter. This is a consequence of avitaminosis. A good option to eliminate it would be to eat plenty of fresh fruit. You can also resort to vitamin complexes produced in the formpills, but remember that synthetic substances often have more than a positive effect.
You should focus on vitamins B, C and D. In addition, iodine and iron are responsible for the cheerfulness of the body and spirit. Let's talk about the latter in more detail.
Iodine is found in large quantities in seaweed. It has a specific taste, but perfectly solves the problem of deficiency of this substance in the body.
If you are tired, sleepy and have no energy to do anything, try eating more iron-rich foods. It is found in large quantities in red meat. For vegetarians, buckwheat is a great option. Just remember that non-heme iron, which is part of it, is absorbed better in combination with vitamin C (for example, it is better to use it with vegetables - fresh or stewed - or eat fruit before meals). And dairy interferes with absorption.
During exercise, endorphins are also released - hormones of joy. Probably, their small amount in your body is the cause of apathy. A favorite thing helps to increase their content. Do you have any hobbies? If not, then immediately find something to your liking. Watching movies, and even more so “walking” on the Internet, does not count. Moreover, you should know that spending time in front of the screen inevitably takes away your strength, and there is nothing surprising in the fact that the body feels weak and sleepy - you do not relax, but only tense up.
ExceptThis, to increase the level of iron will help physical activity in the fresh air. It can be just running or even brisk walking. And in general: physical activity will help you cheer up, improve your mood and relieve fatigue.
What other reasons could there be? Why do you want to sleep again and again? Pay attention to your daily routine. How long do you stay in the realm of Morpheus? The ideal option is the notorious 7-8 hours, but you should take into account the characteristics of your body. You probably don't have enough time. Try to sleep 1-2 hours longer by going to bed earlier.
In conclusion, I would like to say that people who are wondering why they want to sleep during the day need to learn how to rest properly. Master the simplest relaxation technique, go in for aromatherapy, take a bath, just take a walk outside the city - fatigue will be removed as soon as possible.
Be strong and he althy!
