The cause of sleepiness isn’t easy to figure out. Here is information that can point you in the right direction and help you find the treatment that works best for you.

Sleeping is one the most important part of our life. It is the state of our mind and body when they get refreshed and keeps them healthy and well functional.

It’s known that anything in excess is poison, in the same way, oversleeping does. Too much sleep may be linked to a number of medical problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and increased risk of death. There is a large group of people who are addicted to oversleeping. Also, there are some who want to get rid of such bad habits but some people just stick to such things from which they never want to come out.
If sleep duration is not balanced then it can turn one’s happy and comfort life into a worse one. So let’s first see some of the main causes of oversleeping.

How a man develops a habit of oversleeping!

It’s much important to know the cause of any problem to solve that problem in a simple and easiest way, so let’s explore some of the main reasons for a man to develop the habit of oversleeping.

1.Laziness

It is the quality of being unwilling to work or use energy; idleness. Laziness (also known as indolence) is a disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to act or to exert oneself.
It is one of the most common and famous reason. Laziness and oversleeping, both are interconnected to each other and they always remain together. Generally, this problem is with those people who have a lot of free time and they didn’t have any work do to at all, such people starts to spend their most of the time in unnecessary works like on their smartphones or PCs for movies, social media’s platform, games & many more and with time such activity gets converted into habit and day after day this habit will add more and more unnecessary and harmful things (like laziness, oversleeping ) to one’s daily routine.

2.Eating habits

 

There’s also a connection between sleep and how we metabolize food. Diet and food choices help regulate our circadian rhythm, the roughly 24-hour cycle that our body follows each day, Kristin Eckel-Mahan, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at the Center for Metabolic and Degenerative Diseases at The University of Texas Health Science Center of Houston, says. Our circadian rhythms keep our body clock running on time, which in turn keeps all of our bodily functions running on schedule — such as falling asleep at night, waking up in the morning, feeling hungry when we need energy, and metabolizing the food we eat.

That means behaviors like shifting our eating patterns or altering what we eat drastically (like switching to a very high-fat diet) can actually reprogram the various clocks our body runs on, Mahan says, “putting them on a different time zone than the master circadian clock in the brain [which controls sleep].”

Research shows poor sleep patterns have been linked to eating more overall, worse diet quality, and higher rates of obesity and metabolic diseases. While psychological factors (like being tired and making worse food choices) contribute to those problems, metabolic processes — like increased levels of the hormones that tell our bodies we’re hungry getting released when you’re sleep deprived — also play a role.
That’s why what and when we eat affects sleep — and conversely sleep health affects metabolic health, too.

3.The day routine

Our daily routine consists of all of our habits. These actions structure our day and make the difference between operating at peak efficiency and struggling to make it through a poorly planned day.
Our daily routine is very much responsible for developing such habits. What to do an entire day of 24 hours, when to do, how to do and where to do, these all factors are responsible for the same. Any diversification in the day routine can led to the origin of new and bad habit.

4.Depression

 

Depression is classified as a mood disorder. It may be described as feelings of sadness, loss, or anger that interfere with a person’s everyday activities.
Depression can range from mild to severe. Everyone feels sad or blue now and then. Those are normal emotions. People start to notice other physical symptoms such as changes in sleep, appetite, or energy.
People experience depression in different ways. It may interfere with your daily work, resulting in lost time and lower productivity. It can also influence relationships and some chronic health conditions.

5.Adopting others’ bad habits

“Habits and behaviors are defined by what you do and how you react to the world around you,” Dr. Bryan Bruno, Medical Director at Mid City TMS, tells Bustle. It’s human nature to adopt someone’s habit of course a bad one very easily but it’s too difficult to adopt a good and beneficial habit.

6.Not getting enough sleep

The amount of sleep a person needs goes up if they’ve missed sleep in previous days. If you don’t have enough, you’ll have a “sleep debt,” which is much like being overdrawn at a bank. Eventually, your body will demand that you start to repay the debt.

We don’t really adapt to getting less sleep than we need. We may get used to a schedule that keeps us from getting enough sleep, but our judgment, reaction time, and other functions will still be off.

7.Medical disorder

Oversleeping is called hypersomnia or “long sleeping.” This condition affects about 2 percent of people. People with hypersomnia might require as many as 10 to 12 hours of sleep per night to feel their best.

Since day-to-day life might include responsibilities that don’t allow for this much rest, long sleepers may feel excessively tired during the day and catch up on off days, sleeping as much as 15 hours at a time.

You may experience hypersomnia if you often wake up in the middle of the night. You may not remember all of your nighttime waking, but they can keep you from getting enough deep sleep to leave you feeling refreshed.

Hypersomnia typically starts in childhood. If you haven’t always felt as tired as you do now, something else might be going on. Lifestyle factors can play a part. If you don’t get enough sleep on a regular basis, your body may try to make up for it by oversleeping.

Other causes

Other causes include drug, alcohol, or cigarette use, lack of physical activity, obesity, and the use of certain medications.

How to get rid of oversleeping

Above are discussed some of the major causes of oversleeping. And now we are in a state to solve those above problems, as we know that problem takes birth along with its solution. So lets find out the way to the colorful world.

1. Treatment for depression

Living with depression can be difficult, but treatment can help improve your quality of life. Talk to your healthcare provider about possible options.

You may successfully manage symptoms with one form of treatment, or you may find that a combination of treatments works best.

It’s common to combine medical treatments and lifestyle therapies, including the following:

Medications-
Your healthcare provider may prescribe:

*antidepressants
*antianxiety
*antipsychotic medications

Psychotherapy-
Speaking with a therapist can help you learn skills to cope with negative feelings. You may also benefit from family or group therapy sessions.

Exercise-
Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity 3 to 5 days a week. Exercise can increase your body’s production of endorphins, which are hormones that improve your mood.

Avoid alcohol and drugs-
Drinking or misusing drugs may make you feel better for a little bit. But in the long run, these substances can make depression and anxiety symptoms worse.

2. Changes in the Daily Routine

You can have energizing, time-saving routines, or you can adopt draining, inefficient routines. The choice is up to you. Don’t feel bad if you know that some unhealthy habits have crept into your day. The important thing is to recognize them so that you can make a change.

An excellent daily routine sets you up for success. If you make just one change that saves you 10 minutes per day, you can regain 60 hours of your precious time back each year. Pick one routine to stick to first, and then gradually combine one more routine to fit into your life each week. In less than 2 months, you will be living a healthy and successful lifestyle in autopilot.

3. Adopting better habits

Decide what is important and why.
What is your motivation for wanting to develop a new habit? Will it improve your life? Envision the outcome if you don’t make the change. Then decide how you are going to make the change. If you want more clients, make more contacts; if you want to get more done in the day, get up an hour earlier; if you want to be healthier, instill an exercise regimen into the daily routine. Set a goal and then give yourself a timeline to complete it.
Replace a bad habit with a good one.
To ditch a bad habit, try replacing it with a better one.

4. Improvements in eating habits

It’s important for people to know that both what you eat, as well as the timing of when you eat, matter when it comes to sleep and long-term health outcomes.

1. Pay attention to caffeine intake 
Caffeine makes us feel more alert by blocking production of the chemicals in the brain that tell our bodies to sleep — and increasing adrenaline.
2. Lay off the booze before bedtime
Yes, a glass of red wine (or another cocktail) can definitely make you drowsy, but there’s research that shows it actually disturbs the quality of your sleep later in the night, there’s research that shows it actually disturbs the quality of your sleep later in the night,
3. Avoid heavy spicy or fatty foods too close to slumber
4. Stay hydrated all day long
If you’ve ever been dehydrated during a workout or even on a hot day, you know your body doesn’t function at its best when you don’t get enough water.
5.Limit the sugar you eat. Limiting sugar helps keep energy consistent throughout the day, so you can maintain other healthy habits throughout the day — and catch quality Zs at night.

5. Removing Laziness

“How can I stop laziness?” The answer may not be as cut and dry as you’d expect. While some people may be more prone to being lazy than others, even highly productive people can find it challenging to get things done sometimes.
Here are some tips to help you get rid of laziness and get a grasp on your productivity.

One should not make overuse of anything like mobile or PCs because with time you will be addicted to these things and affect you mentally and physically.

Yoga is one of the best way to get rid of laziness. Daily practice of Yoga keeps your mind fresh and active throughout the day. It also gives your body stamina and power to face the hurdles of the entire day and prevent you from getting lazy and sleepy.

6. Make your goals manageable

 

You can stop your negative internal voice by practicing positive self-talk. Instead of saying, “There’s no way I can get this done,” say, “I’ll give it my all to make it happen.

Don’t expect yourself to be perfect
Perfectionism is on the rise and it’s taking a psychological toll. Perfectionism is causing people to be overly critical of themselves and others. It’s also led to an increase in depression and anxiety.

7. Get adequate nighttime sleep.

That may sound obvious, but many of us succumb to shaving an hour or two off our sleep time in the morning or at night to do other things. Most adults need seven to nine hours a night, and teenagers usually need a full nine hours. Block out eight or nine hours for sleep every night.
Set a consistent wake-up time.
People who have problems with sleepiness are often advised to go to bed and get up at the same time every day, including on weekends. Randomly setting an ideal bedtime can lead to more frustration if you suffer from insomnia and already have trouble falling asleep, says Barry Krakow, MD, medical director of Maimonides Sleep Arts and Sciences Ltd. in Albuquerque, N.M., and author of Sound Sleep, Sound Mind: 7 Keys to Sleeping Through the Night.

8. Treatment of medical disorder

It’s a good idea to check in with your doctor if your sleepiness symptoms last longer than six weeks. At your appointment, your doctor will likely ask you questions about your sleep and lifestyle habits, medications, and health history. You may also have a physical exam and even be asked to engage in a sleep study.

If your oversleeping cannot be attributed to other medical conditions, your doctor may recommend the following:

Rate your sleepiness on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. You’ll rate your sleepiness to help your doctor understand how sleep is affecting your everyday life.
Keep a sleep diary. You’ll record your sleep habits, like when you fall asleep when you wake, and how often you wake, so your doctor can look for sleep amounts and patterns. You should track your sleep for a week before seeing your doctor.
Take a polysomnogram. You’ll stay overnight in a sleep center attached to a monitor that will measure brain activity, eye movement, leg movement, heart rate, and more.
Take a multiple sleep latency test. This test is typically done the day after a polysomnogram. It measures your sleep as you nap during the day.

In addition stop taking drugs, alcohol, cigarette. If you are addicted to it then take the help of medications as there are lots of it.
Try to get involve yourself in physical activities. Never sit alone or lonely it as lowers your body activeness and makes you lazy.

 

If you don’t sacrifice for want you want, what you want become the sacrifice…
