Which is worse for the body, drowsiness or insomnia

It's not good, insomnia will cause you to turn day and night upside down, very sleepy during the day, and very energetic at night, and drowsy words are very sleepy in simple words, but people generally sleep for 2 to 10 hours is already very good, if you sleep too much, you will feel uncomfortable.

Insomnia is not good for the body, and drowsiness affects life.

Drowsiness is harmful to the body, if you sleep for a long time, it may cause cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, muscle weakness, slow reaction and other symptoms. Drowsiness is a disease, and the rational cause may be insufficient blood supply to the brain, high blood pressure or hypotension or the. If it is caused by sinusitis, cervical spondylosis, etc., further examination is recommended**.

At present, the specific hair element of the disease is not particularly clear. Its main harm is the decline in the quality of life, affecting normal learning and social functions such as work and socialization. At the same time, clinical symptoms such as memory loss and thinking ability will appear.

Therefore, to confirm the diagnosis of narcolepsy, it is necessary to go to the neurology department of the hospital in time. Narcolepsy is the condition of sleeping too much during the day, but it is not caused by overexertion or other reasons such as alcohol or drugs. Narcolepsy causes weakness in the body; Reduced resistance to the respiratory tract can also affect gastrointestinal function and can also cause low muscle tone, such as muscles and joints becoming looser in the morning after a night's sleep.

If you wake up and move immediately, you can increase muscle tone, keep muscle tissue active, and expel metabolic waste. Patients with drowsiness miss the opportunity to move due to muscle tissue, and often feel soreness and discomfort in the back after waking up.

If the patient has long-term symptoms of sleepiness and drowsiness, some patients may have some organic lesions, and these patients may cause health problems and even make the patient dangerous if they are not carried out in time**.

For example, if the patient has episodic lung disease. Patients will have symptoms of sleep trial 24 hours a day, patients will fall asleep regardless of the occasion and time, and patients need to drink drugs in time**. If the patient has severe sleep apnea syndrome, the patient will also experience drowsiness symptoms, and the patient must be prompted**.

Surveys have shown that if you sleep less than 6 hours a day, your health will be impaired. However, if you sleep more than 9 hours a day, it can also be harmful to your health. In the study of sleep duration, the sleep duration with the lowest mortality rate was about 7 hours per day, while people who slept an average of less than 4 hours or more than 10 hours per day, both men and women, had a fairly high mortality rate.

Are you also curious, how long-term sleepiness damages the body and leads to death? Next, let's talk about the risk of disease caused by drowsiness to the human body

1. Induce stroke and diabetes.

A study in the United States showed that sleep duration is an independent factor in increasing the risk of stroke.

After a seven-and-a-half-year survey of more than 90,000 women aged 50 to 79, researchers found that people who slept more than nine hours a day had a 70 percent increased risk of stroke than those who slept seven hours. At the same time, studies have also shown that the blood viscosity of the elderly is relatively high, and if you sleep for too long and do not move for a long time, it will lead to an increase in blood viscosity, and the increase in blood viscosity is more likely to induce cerebrovascular diseases such as thrombosis and stroke.

Another study showed that sleeping too much time can also trigger diabetes. Surveys have found that people who sleep 7-8 hours a day are the healthiest. If you sleep less than 6 hours, your risk of diabetes increases by about 2 times; If you sleep more than 8 hours, your risk of diabetes increases by more than 3 times!!

2. Leads to mental malaise and mental decline.

Most people think that if you want to get rid of fatigue during the day, you should sleep more, so you should sleep more at night. However, after increasing the amount of sleep, the mental state during the day is still very poor, often sleepy, and becomes lazy, weak, inefficient, and even mentally declined.

All of these facts prove that blindly increasing sleep time to achieve health is completely wrong. Generally, after a night's rest, the muscles and joints of the body will become relaxed, and immediate activity after waking up can increase muscle tone and muscle blood volume, so that bones and muscle tissue can be repaired, and at the same time, the metabolites accumulated in the muscles at night will be eliminated, which is conducive to the recovery of muscle tissue to the state of exercise.

People who often sleep lazily do not get up and move at the time when they should get up and move, so that the muscle tissue misses the opportunity to repair, and after getting up, they will feel weak legs, lumbosacral discomfort, and even weakness. Moreover, people who sleep lazily for a long time will also be in a state of hyperactivity for a long time, and other nerve centers will be inhibited for a long time, and the speed of recovery will become relatively slow, making people feel groggy and listless all day long, and over time, intelligence will also decline significantly.

Dangers of narcolepsy:

1. Increase the possibility of accidental injury, if the patient has a sleep attack during the day, it may lead to falls and accidental injury

2. Affect the patient's mental state, for example, if a student suffers from narcolepsy and suddenly falls asleep or snores loudly during class, the teacher or classmates may not understand and think that the patient is lazy. In addition, when the patient has a daytime sleep attack, the patient cannot control it, and there will be a feeling of helplessness. Therefore, many patients will have depression and anxiety for a long time, and 20% of patients with narcolepsy will have social phobia.

3. Obesity will occur after illness, and why it will lead to obesity, sleep experts have not yet come up with a reasonable explanation or mechanism.

Therefore, narcolepsy can bring unexpected damage, lead to obesity, and lead to depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

Excessive daytime sleepiness – this symptom is always present and is usually the most noticeable.

Drowsiness cataplexy – Cataplexy refers to a sudden or temporary loss of muscle mass, which causes paralysis of the head or body without loss of consciousness. It can last for a few seconds or minutes. Mild symptoms include slurred speech or stuttering, drooping eyelids, or weakness in fingers.

Severe cataplexy can cause the knee to bend and cause prostration. Laughter, excitement, or anger are typical causes of cataplexy. The sudden relaxation of muscle mass may be the result of the brain suddenly going into REM sleep.

Less than half of people with narcolepsy have cataplexy — sleep paralysis — a temporary inability to move when a person falls asleep or is about to wake up. It only lasts a few minutes. Similar to cataplexy, sleep paralysis may also be associated with an inadequate transition between REM sleep and wakefulness.

Sleep paralysis is associated with hallucinations.

Refers to mental, dream-like images, usually terrifying, often during or before sleep paralysis occurs.

About 90% of people diagnosed with narcolepsy do not have at least one of these symptoms. Less than half of people have these four symptoms. Often, these symptoms have not been reported to adolescents or adults before this.

People who suffer from drowsiness complain of feeling fatigued and poor performance at work, school, and social relationships. Excessive daytime sleepiness can incapacitate a person and greatly reduce their quality of life. Memory loss and visual impairment can be particularly disturbing.

More than half of people who suffer from drowsiness experience memory loss or memory disruption, which is caused by "microsleep" that breaks into a wakeful state. During these phases, they get overwhelmed, talk or write nonsense, misplace things, or bump into things when walking or driving. Typically, they are unable to control their actions during these phases and cannot remember what happened afterwards.

Disadvantages of drowsiness: Drowsiness is easy to get heart disease.

The clinical features of narcolepsy are sudden onsets of sleep, daytime sleepiness; pre-sleep hallucinations; restless sleep at night; Paroxysmal muscle weakness, cataplexy, and sleep paralysis. Patients with narcolepsy often have irresistible sleep episodes during the day, trying to stay awake during the attack, but falling asleep in 1 2 minutes, the duration of the attack varies from a few minutes to more than an hour, and the mind is clear after waking up.

More than half of patients have cataplexy symptoms, and a significant number have hypnic hallucinations or sleep paralysis. It can occur in a variety of situations, such as at work, during meals, while walking, while chairing meetings, lecturing, swimming, or driving a car. If the onset of sleep is hindered or suddenly awakened during the seizure, the patient will be irritable and irritable.
