Reasons You're Sleepy All Day

Feeling sleepy and tired all day long is a warning sign that you have physical or mental problems or have been indoors for too long.

Many people experience feeling sleepy and exhausted all day long even though they didn’t drink alcohol the night before. Here are 7 reasons why, according to Metro.

Afternoon

If you don't eat much at noon, you will still feel tired in the afternoon. Your biological clock tells your body that it's time to sleep, making you lethargic and less productive between 2-4 pm.

You stay at home all day

You can’t stay awake if you sit in front of a computer in a dark room all day. What you need to do is go outside, move around and get some sunlight to get your vitamin D.

You don't sleep at the right time.

Humans are creatures of habit. Any disruption to your sleep schedule will throw you off track. Trying to sleep or wake up earlier or later than usual will leave you feeling tired the next day.

Physical problems

If you’re still tired after getting 8 hours of sleep, you may have a health problem. Anemia or an underactive thyroid are two of the main causes of fatigue. Also consider diabetes, food intolerance, sleep apnea, or pregnancy.

Mentally unstable

Lack of energy is a common symptom of mental illnesses like depression. Anxiety can easily lead to sleep deprivation, which can leave you feeling drained. Experts recommend seeing a doctor if you suddenly feel sleepy during the day.

You are imagining

Our brains are so powerful that they are masters of deception. You cannot be alert and refreshed if you wake up thinking you are too tired. It is best to assess your energy and emotions at 11am.

Drinking alcohol

Alcohol affects the brain in a similar way to sleeping pills. So, avoid alcohol during the workday if you don't want to fall asleep.
