Q Hello sir, I am 21 years old and 5"9 long, I feel sleepy for whole day. Even after sleeping for 12 hours in night I can sleep again in day. I feel exhausted after whole this lot of sleep, I guess it is hypersomnia. So can you please suggest me some medication urgently as my exams (engineering) are coming and I am currently in bikaner (rajasthan). Here the medical facilities are not so good so please help me.
What you have is called as excessive day time sleepiness. It can be caused due to factors that can affect quality of sleep at night. Such as obstructive sleep apnea, snoring, side effect of any on going medication, restless leg syndrome, etc. Without knowing the underlying cause treatment cannot be suggested. However following are some tips that can help you to improve your sleep quality: Set a fix sleep time and go to bed every day at the same time. Do not not use your bed for studying. Do not consume alcohol or caffeine rich drink before going to bed. You can put soft and soothing music to help you relax before going to bed. If all these measures do not help it is essential that you get yourself examined.
