    1. Patients should be alert to drowsiness as a signal of other diseases, and sleepiness is closely related to sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and narcolepsy. In particular, patients with narcolepsy have irresistible sleep attacks when they want to sleep during the day, even if they try to stay awake, but they can't control it completely, and they fall asleep after 1-2 minutes, and sometimes they have several seizures a day. Narcolepsy often occurs after monotonous, quiet activity or eating.

    Drowsiness can be mild, such as napping after lunch, and severe symptoms can be rapid falling asleep while eating or talking.

    2. People with symptoms of drowsiness should seek medical attention in time, and need to do sleep monitoring, pay attention to the examination and the primary diseases that may be caused, such as sleep apnea syndrome, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, etc. Some people with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome have a long-term diagnosis of chronic fatigue or neurasthenia. If a patient with sleep apnea syndrome snores at night, wakes up at night or has restless sleep, and wants to sleep or feels tired during the day, if the doctor prescribes diazepam drugs for insomnia, it may relax the muscles, aggravate the narrowing of the airways, and make the condition more severe.

    3. If there is drowsiness, it must not be taken lightly, which will not only affect the normal study and work of the patient, but also harm the physical and mental health. You should go to the hospital to see a doctor. Before the first time, you should avoid engaging in dangerous work and avoid driving to prevent accidents.

    We've all had the experience of staying up late or having insomnia the next day with a dizzy head and no interest in things, let alone concentration.

    The function in the brain that is responsible for managing hearing is called central auditory processing, and poor sleep can weaken this function, affecting our attention to the sounds of our surroundings, which in turn affects hearing.

    So, if you don't sleep well and your brain doesn't get enough rest, your hearing may also deteriorate.

    Poor sleep obstructs blood flow and affects hearing.

    The proper functioning of the ear as a part of the body depends on the nutrients delivered by the blood flow.

    When you don't sleep well, especially after a long period of sleep deprivation, the blood velocity will slow down, the blood circulation cycle will be prolonged, and the auditory hair cells in the ear will be damaged due to the inability to get proper nutrition.

    And the number of auditory hair cells in the ear is limited, and once damaged, they cannot regenerate, ieBad one is one less, which will inevitably lead to hearing loss.

    For people who don't sleep well once in a while, the damage to the auditory hair cells may be mild, butFor people who have not slept well for a long time, especially those with pre-existing hearing loss, hearing loss may be noticeable

    So,If you've been suffering from poor sleep, it may not be a one-way street, and your hearing will slowly decline.

    Sleep deprivation can alter brain activity, reduce the brain's ability to function normally, and sometimes even terminate brain activity, greatly reducing the brain's ability to process information, and even leading to hearing loss.

    People with insomnia have a poor ability to understand speech because their brains can't process the language they're about to hear, so it's important to get enough sleep so that the brain and all body systems, including hearing, are working optimally.

    While sleep needs vary from person to person and are related to age, activity level, and other factors, the average adult generally needs seven to eight hours of sleep per day.

    Nearly 30 people sleep less than six hours, and about 50 to 70 million people suffer from insomnia due to sleep disorders.

    Why does poor sleep affect hearing? First of all, we need to understand that according to the data of the National Sleep Association, we adults sleep about 8 to 10 hours a day, and less than this time will affect our attention, mood and brain auditory function, which is called the central auditory function processing system. Central auditory processing mainly relies on alertness and attention, and once we don't sleep well, it may affect auditory function.

    Poor sleep can also affect blood circulation, especially ear blood circulation, our auditory organs have 20,000 capillaries, mainly to detect sound waves and convert them into speech and sound, this process mainly relies on normal blood flow and ear nutrition**, to ensure that the ear function normally. Poor sleep slows down blood circulation, which can lead to sluggish sensory cells, leading to reduced auditory sensitivity.

    If you don't sleep well for a long time, it will affect all aspects of your body. In this recommendation, we improve our sleep and let us have a healthy body!

    According to relevant surveys, the incidence of sudden deafness is at least several times higher than it was 10 years ago. Generally speaking, there are two types of sudden hearing loss, one is a sudden and severe loss of hearing, and the other is a slow loss of hearing.

    The specific causes of sudden deafness have not yet been clarified, and sudden, unexplained sensorineural deafness is now called sudden deafness. The most important factor causing sudden deafness may be excessive stress, "because there are three categories of people with a high incidence of the disease: leaders, white-collar workers, and test takers." Xiong Min said that a big background of sudden deafness is high work pressure and ideological pressure, resulting in poor rest and mental tension, which is also the reason why most of the patients with sudden deafness are young adults.

    The recovery rate of sudden deafness is as high as 80%, but only if it is timely**. In the case of sudden deafness, if the hearing loss exceeds three months, it is difficult to recover the hearing. In addition, sudden deafness can be a precursor to diseases such as acoustic neuroma, so it is important to go to the hospital if you have hearing loss.

    How can I protect my hearing? The most important thing is to avoid physical and mental overexertion; Secondly, wear less headphones, even if it is a listening experience with Li Tong, it is best to let your ears rest every 30 minutes.

    According to foreign media, a survey released by the Chinese Sleep Research Association shows that the incidence of insomnia and late trouble among Chinese adults is as high as more than 38%.

    Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao** reported on July 6, citing China**, that a survey of insomnia people released by Hunan Provincial Brain Hospital showed that the number of people facing insomnia problems has increased significantly.

    Luo Xiaolin, director of the hospital's sleep disorders center, said that in 2013, there were more than 5,000 outpatient visits to the sleep disorders specialty at the Hunan Provincial Brain Hospital, and in 2014 the number soared to nearly 9,000.

    Experts say that insomnia can occur in people of all ages, and the clinical manifestations are difficulty falling asleep, easy to wake up in the middle of sleep, early awakening, etc., low sleep quality, and a significant reduction in sleep time. If people have long-term insomnia, they will have a series of clinical symptoms of depression.

    Experts say that insomnia is a symptom of abnormal sleep, which may be a signal of abnormal physiological functions and biological rhythms in the human body. The same is the case with insomnia, and the hidden reasons behind it may be completely different.

    Clause.

    1. Noise impact. Affected by noise, it will damage normal hearing, such as long-term access to electric playgrounds, ice rinks, KTVs, bars and other noise environments, which will seriously affect people's hearing function. In addition, fireworks can also produce strong noise during the blasting process, which can cause permanent damage to people's hearing.

    Clause. 2. Staying up late for a long time. Many young people have the habit of staying up late for a long time, if they often stay up late to surf the Internet or often stay up late to work overtime, it will lead to overwork of the body, which will lead to the decline of the body's immune function and ear immune function, which will affect normal hearing, and in severe cases, it may also permanently lose hearing.

    Clause. 3. Pluck your ears often. Many people have the habit of picking their ears with their hands, especially when their ears are itchy, they can't help but pluck them with their fingers. In fact, it is easy to damage the external ear canal in the process of ear picking, and it may be complicated by a variety of ear canal diseases such as otitis media, and in severe cases, it may also damage normal hearing.

    Clause. 4. Blow your nose vigorously. Generally, after the occurrence of rhinitis, pharyngitis and other upper respiratory tract infections, it will spread to the eustachian tube, and may even cause the eardrum of the ear to become infected. In the case of blowing the nose vigorously, it will also cause bacteria and viruses in the nasopharynx to enter the middle ear, thus inducing otitis media.
