Doctors warn about excessive sleepiness

While many people struggle with insomnia or waking up too early, some experience excessive daytime sleepiness, medically known as somnolence. Though less common than insomnia, doctors say it can indicate underlying health problems. This condition is not just fatigue but may point to serious disorders affecting overall well-being.

Common causes include sleep apnea, where breathing interruptions during sleep reduce oxygen levels, leading to poor rest and daytime drowsiness. Other reasons include thyroid disorders, vitamin deficiencies such as Vitamin D and B12, depression, and organ-related issues like kidney or liver dysfunction. In rare cases, neurological conditions like narcolepsy may also be responsible.
