Dr. Lv Zhiqin
The main reasons for feeling sleepy all day and lacking energy include the following:
1. Physiological factors: Insufficient sleep duration or poor sleep quality can prevent the body from getting adequate rest, leading to fatigue and drowsiness. Excessive physical or mental exertion, such as prolonged work or physical activity, can leave the body in a state of exhaustion.
2. Psychological factors: Emotional issues, such as depression and anxiety disorders, may cause lethargy and hypersomnia. High levels of mental stress, excessive tension, or anxiety can affect the normal functioning of the nervous system, increasing feelings of fatigue.
3. Lifestyle habits: Irregular作息 (作息 should be translated as作息 habits or作息 routine), such as staying up late or inconsistent sleep schedules, can disrupt the body's biological clock and affect sleep quality. Unhealthy eating habits, such as extreme dieting or overeating, may lead to nutritional imbalances and affect bodily functions.
4. Medical conditions: Chronic illnesses, such as anemia or hypothyroidism, may lead to decreased bodily function and result in symptoms of drowsiness and fatigue.
5. Environmental factors: Prolonged exposure to enclosed, noisy, or poorly lit environments may affect physical comfort and sleep quality.
