    Falling asleep with food in your mouth is still dangerous for your child, so it is best to wake him up and swallow the food in his mouth thoroughly into the gastrointestinal tract before letting him continue to sleep. If you really can't wake up, try to let your child choose to sleep on his side, either on the left side or on the right side, or choose to sleep on his stomach, and try to avoid sleeping on his back, because if there is food in the mouth when sleeping, some particles in the food may enter the throat with the child's breathing, and then enter the trachea, causing aspiration bronchitis or aspiration pneumonia. If these foods block the airways, it can lead to breathing difficulties and even suffocation, which can be life-threatening.

    Clinical manifestations of narcolepsy.

    People with narcolepsy are prone to sudden and irrepressible drowsiness while eating, walking, driving, chatting, etc., and quickly fall asleep, and then wake up in a short time.

    Cataplexy seizures, i.e., sudden changes in bilateral skeletal muscle tone (also drooping eyelids, facial laxity, etc.) that occur during waking period, while consciousness is relatively preserved. Cataplexy seizures are often triggered by positive emotions such as laughter and happiness, but negative emotions can also be triggered. The onset lasts less than 2 minutes and is relatively short.

    Some patients fall suddenly when walking, and older patients may think that it is a leg cramp or a cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease attack, but in fact they may have a sleep disorder.

    Nocturnal sleep disorders, such as nighttime sleep disruption, increased frequency and duration of awakenings, decreased sleep efficiency, sleep paralysis, pre-sleep hallucinations, etc.

    The pathogenesis of narcolepsy is closely related to genetics, trauma, and environmental factors. "Narcolepsy" is common in adolescents, and the age of onset is generally from childhood to early adulthood, the incidence is equal in men and women, and it is generally not easy to detect before adolescence. The global prevalence of narcolepsy is approximately, and the prevalence of narcolepsy is estimated in China.

    The harm of narcolepsy is not the disease itself, but the accidents it causes. Foreign statistics: nearly 50% of drowsiness patients have had traffic or occupational accidents; 20% of traffic accidents are related to drowsiness; Family accidents are caused by drowsiness.

    For patients with narcolepsy that has affected their normal study and life, some drugs can be used, mainly some central nervous system stimulants and antidepressants. For example, the central stimulants methylphenidate and modafinil, antidepressants fluoxetine and venlafaxine have positive efficacy. Traditional Chinese medicine is guided by the syndrome differentiation system of viscera and meridians, and uses traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture to **narcolepsy, which has better curative effect and less efficacy.

    How to prevent it. 1. You should make a schedule of work and rest, go to bed and get up at the same time, arrange a lunch break in the afternoon, participate in more cultural and sports activities, and try to avoid engaging in monotonous activities.

    2. Maintain an optimistic mood and avoid depression and sadness, but don't be too excited.

    3. It is best not to travel alone, do not engage in high-altitude and underwater operations, and do not engage in driving vehicles, managing various signals and other tasks with great responsibilities to avoid accidents.

    4. Try to avoid taking sedative drugs to avoid increasing the incidence of disease.

    5. In addition to medication, the most important thing for patients with sleep disorders is to maintain a regular life, avoid emotional agitation, overwork, overeating, and quit smoking and drinking.

    In life, there will always be a group of people who often feel sleepy, do not sleep enough, are drowsy during the day, and cannot sleep at night. Being sleepy all the time is not only bad for your health, but you will also encounter a lot of trouble in your life. For example, drowsiness will affect judgment, reaction speed, and memory.

    For friends who drive cars, there is a danger to their lives.

    What is the reason for the frequent sleepiness?

    1. Short sleep time and poor sleep quality.

    Many young people are getting more and more excited at night, or playing outside late, waking up early to work the next morning, sleeping less than 7 hours, some even less than 5 hours, lacking enough sleep, and of course it is easy to get drowsy during the day. In addition, some people have poor sleep quality, often dreaming and snoring while sleeping, and wake up tired the next day. After a long time, it is natural to become drowsy and symptoms of dizziness appear.

    If you don't pay attention to the adjustment, it can cause a nervous breakdown.

    2. Abnormal blood glucose and dyslipidemia.

    If you are always sleepy and have no energy, it may be caused by blood lipid and blood sugar problems. If hypoglycemia is due to it, small meals should be eaten frequently to reduce the appearance of hypoglycemia. If it is because of high blood lipids, you can take simvastatin as a ** drug under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Narcolepsy.

    Lack of energy, drowsiness, sometimes not a single symptom, can also be caused by other diseases of the body, such as infectious diseases, endocrine diseases, metabolic disorders, or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, if you are sleepy and tired for a long time, you should be vigilant, go to the hospital for examination, and find out**, so that you can target ** in time.

    4. Depression and stress.

    People who suffer from depression or stress tend to get cranky in their lives. Whenever this happens, you will lose the pursuit of life and lack of positive motivation. All day long, mentally unstable, mentally tired, and more mentally tossed, the probability of sleepiness is higher.

    5. Anemia. Fatigue and drowsiness are the most common symptoms of anemia and may be accompanied by dizziness, headache, tinnitus, vertigo and difficulty concentrating. Most of these symptoms are caused by anemia in the muscles or nervous system. Although food is no longer scarce for people in this era, due to human digestion and absorption, diet and other reasons, the absorption of iron and certain amino acids required by the human body is still insufficient, which may lead to the appearance of anemia.

If the symptoms do not improve for a period of time, it is best to seek medical attention in time, find out**, and ** as soon as possible**.

    I often feel sleepy after lunch, is it because the blood is concentrated in the stomach and away from the brain?

    Not really. Many people think that after eating, the blood of the whole body is concentrated in the digestive system to help gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestion, which will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain and make the brain lack oxygen, and people will feel sleepy, but this is not scientific.

    As the most important organ of the human body, the human body will give priority to ensuring the blood of the brain**, if it is really as many people think that the brain is short of oxygen due to the reduction of blood supply, then the person should feel dizzy instead of simply sleepy. Foreign studies have indeed found that the blood flow to the brain not only does not decrease but increases after meals.

    So why is there "food sleepiness"?

    This is mostly related to the endocrine status of the human body after meals. When a person eats a high-carbohydrate food, the blood sugar rises, which inhibits the hypothalamus from secreting an appetite hormone, which is low in protein hormones, making the person feel tired and drowsy.

    In addition, researchers in the United States found that the secretion of cholecystokinin may be related to drowsiness after meals, and the researchers tested the amount of cholecystokinin secretion and drowsiness scale scores of the subjects before and after meals, and found that there was a positive correlation between the two, that is, the more cholecystokinin secretion, the more sleepy people were. If the food you eat is too greasy, you will secrete a lot of cholecystokinin, which may also be the reason for feeling "sleepy" after eating.

    Hello, a few months of baby after a few mouthfuls of milk, it often happens that he falls asleep, at this time the mother can gently twist the baby's ears with her hands, so that the baby continues to eat until full.

    If the baby is harassed and does not wake up, settle the baby to sleep first, and then feed the baby when he wakes up and asks for breastfeeding. At the same time, the mother should master the baby's sleep routine and do not feed the baby when he wants to sleep.
