Oh my god, why am I always so sleepy? Go check your body.

Do you think you have entered hibernation and that’s why you feel sleepy all day? NONO, if there is a problem with your thyroid gland, you will also experience symptoms such as drowsiness and general weakness.

1. There may be something wrong with your thyroid gland. The thyroid gland secretes hormones to regulate metabolism. If the thyroid gland is hypofunctioning and the secretion of triiodothyronine and thyroxine is insufficient, symptoms such as slow pulse and drowsiness may occur.

2. Iron deficiency. Many women suffer from iron deficiency, which can cause chronic anemia. When red blood cells do not supply enough oxygen to other cells in the body, people may feel sleepy, have difficulty concentrating or become susceptible to colds. There are many reasons why women may be iron deficient, which may be excessive menstrual bleeding or low iron content in the diet. Therefore, you need to eat more iron-rich foods such as meat, vegetables, beans, etc. You can also supplement with foods rich in vitamin C to promote iron absorption.

3. Took anti-allergic drugs. Many people take anti-allergic drugs due to pollen allergies and other reasons, but some anti-allergic drugs, in addition to suppressing allergic reactions, also affect brain nerve cells and make people sleepy. Therefore, before taking the medicine, you must pay attention to whether the medicine may cause drowsiness or take it at night.

4. Drinking too little water. Studies show that people who drink less water usually have poor sleep, and it is a vicious cycle: drinking less water during the day means poor sleep at night; poor sleep at night means drinking less water during the day.

5. Suffering from diabetes. Type 2 diabetes patients have problems with the process by which insulin converts glucose into energy, causing them to be susceptible to symptoms such as fatigue. If you suspect your sleepiness is related to diabetes, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

6. Too little exercise. Always not wanting to exercise because you feel tired? This can be a vicious cycle, as people who don't like to exercise often feel tired. So to break this cycle, get more exercise.

7. Lack of vitamin B12. If the body lacks vitamin B12, anemia may also occur, resulting in drowsiness, inattention, pale complexion, etc. Vitamin B12 deficiency may be caused by insufficient diet or absorption disorder, and medical attention is required if necessary.

8. Drink coffee or tea at inappropriate times. The caffeine in coffee or tea has a refreshing effect, but drinking it in the afternoon is likely to cause insomnia at night, thus disrupting your sleep rhythm. Therefore, pay attention to the time when drinking refreshing drinks so as not to delay your rest at night.
