Insufficient Yang Qi

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sleepiness should be considered to be caused by insufficient Yang Qi, or excessive phlegm and dampness in the body, and blood stasis and turbidity blocking the clear Yang. The chapter "Cold and Heat Diseases" in Lingshu says: "When Yang Qi is strong, the eyes will be wide open, and when Yin Qi is strong, the eyes will be closed." This means that excessive Yin and weak Yang lead to sleepiness. "Dan Xi's Heart Method and Dampness" says: "When the spleen and stomach are affected by dampness, one will feel drowsy, weak, lazy and like to sleep." This means that spleen deficiency and heavy dampness can cause drowsiness and sleepiness.

Countermeasures: Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, physical therapy and other methods can be used for treatment.

Excessive sexual indulgence

The so-called wealth, sex, fame, food and sleep, these desires are often connected together, and it is not easy to extricate oneself once you become addicted to them. To put it bluntly, sleeping is very comfortable, but the more you sleep, the more you want to sleep, and gradually you develop the habit of sleeping for a long time, and your brain gradually tends to be in a state of inhibition.
