Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Huang Shichang
The reasons for insomnia at night and excessive sleepiness during the day can be summarized as follows:
1. Circadian rhythm disruption: Staying up late at night and sleeping in the morning disrupt the body's circadian rhythm, leading to difficulty falling asleep at night and drowsiness during the day.
2. Poor sleep quality: Inadequate sleep quality at night, possibly due to high levels of mental stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional issues, prevents the brain from getting sufficient rest, resulting in daytime fatigue.
3. Environmental factors: A poor sleep environment, such as noise or excessive light, can impair nighttime sleep quality and consequently cause daytime sleepiness.
4. Lifestyle habits: Excessive use of electronic devices at night or consuming stimulants like caffeine can interfere with sleep and contribute to daytime drowsiness.
