Q. What should be done to stop falling asleep frequently?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

It looks like it is affecting your daily routine and academic performance, which can be frustrating. Though there is a need for history for presenting problems like,

1. When did it start, and what is the frequency?
2. Are there any lifestyle changes or relationship issues?

I suggest you consult a sleep specialist and take a sleep questionnaire and test. Also, rule out psychological causes of hypersomnia by assessing for triggers, and stressors, as by-products of sleeping too much can lead to anxiety and depression. A follow-up session is necessary if the issues are persistent.

Also, meanwhile, follow simple sleep hygiene.

1. Wake up at a set time and go to bed at the same time every day.
2. Have a fresh and clean sleeping space.
3. Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine.
4. Eat healthy food and exercise well.
5. Exercise can stimulate hormones and trigger rest and digestion patterns.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
