How come I keep feeling very sleepy...
-
when I reach home aft dinner...
simply cannot control...doze off on sofa while watching TV.... then wake up at around midnight.
I am the type who believes that sleeping is a waste of time unless to recover for body fatigue. So I felt very guilty when I wake up...esp when I planned to go jogging aft i digest my dinner.
Can anyone advise me on some habits to stay awake? Pls dun advise me to take medical, Yomeshio wine or see doctor! -
When you retire for the night, do you wake up frequently during the duration of your sleep?
Do you get up before the alarm goes off in the morning?
Do you look at your clock before you turn into bed?

OMG! I got all the three you mentioned!!
Wat does that mean??!! Wat does that mean??!! -
For the first 2 questions I asked you, it means you're not getting the proper sleep which you need during the night.Originally posted by Troy437: OMG! I got all the three you mentioned!!

For the next, I know this is going to be abit hard to believe, but its a psychological effect that affects some only. Don't look at the time before you go and sleep. Your body actually remembers it. If you don't look, it won't remember. You tricked your own mind into telling yourself you had enough sleep. -

The logic behind the 2nd part. If you're tired, go and sleep. If you're not, don't bother trying. If you go and take note of the time before you retire, you subconciously go and count how many hours of sleep you might most possibly get and you humans tell yourself:"wah lau eh, last night slept 4hrs nia, later sure sleepy one.".
If you're not tired and want to try to get to sleep, you'll just end up tossing and turning in bed for the next say 1hr, 2hrs or so. And then you're going to follow the above, look at the clock and go :"oh no, 4hrs of sleep left nia, later sure sleepy one.". Then the cycle just starts all over again. -

one thing i found out myself - there is an optimal duration of sleep, more than which will just make a person sleepier.Originally posted by Troy437:when I reach home aft dinner...

for me, its about 5 hours. when i slept 6+ hrs in the past, i felt lethargic the whole day.
regular exercise helps too to keep one fresh.
