Wake-up is not normal and may be the consequence of many factors. Frequent and un-explainable non-restorative sleep by a change in lifestyle is a sign that something is wrong. It is therefore important to find out what the causes are and to remedy them.
Sleep needs are very different for people and ages. An adult sleeps on average 7 to 8 hours a night but some will need 11 to 12 hours of sleep to feel rested. The ideal amount of sleep is therefore unique to everyone. It is the time of sleep that will allow you to be fit and effective on awakening.
When sleep is not restful and it is not a real rest, one can feel tired on waking: getting up becomes difficult. In case of fatigue, the activities of daily life, usually easy to accomplish (work, cleaning, homework ...), become a chore.
"Sleep is an excellent indicator of a person's general state of health and their relationship to their environment," said Dr. Valaxt, a researcher at a unit of INSERM (National Institute of Health and Social Services). of medical research in France) specialized in the study of sleep and dreams. It is therefore important to monitor your sleep and pay attention to the changes it undergoes.
The causes of waking up can be multiple. This is not a phenomenon to take lightly because this fatigue can be related to a problem of psychic or physical.
When the psyche takes over ...
This feeling of non-rest may be due to stress, overwork at work, excessive leisure activities or even an unbalanced or insufficient diet. To know where this fatigue comes from, it is necessary to analyze the changes that may have occurred recently in your life. Fatigue awakening is part of the signals sent by the body to make it clear to the sufferer that his lifestyle does not suit him.
Warning
Non-restorative sleep is also a symptom of depression. Constant fatigue, insomnia, loss of motivation are signals that must be monitored. Do not hesitate to talk to your doctor.
Fatigue and illness
A waking state of awakening that has lasted for several weeks may be the warning sign of a disease, as many can manifest themselves by this symptom. Whether it is fatigue caused by an exhausting illness such as flu, osteoarthritis, cancer or a silent condition such as anemia or a thyroid disorder, it is important not to sleep non-repairer lightly and consult a specialist without waiting.
This unexplained fatigue may also be a sign of sleep apnea. The sleeper punctually blocks his breathing which leads to a drop in oxygenation of the blood and which forces the heart to work more to fill this lack of oxygen. The sleeper with sleep apnea often wakes up tired and is not aware of what happened.
Change your lifestyle
It is important to change certain habits in order to sleep better and to avoid any risk of fatigue when you wake up.
- Sleeping enough is the first of the rules to respect to not feel tired on waking. For this, you must listen to his body (yawning, heavy eyelids, tingling in the neck ...).
- Practicing a regular sports activity allows you to relax, to relieve the pressure accumulated during the day and to tire your body to have a real restful sleep.
- Adopt a balanced diet (fruits, vegetables, cereals ...) and drink at least 1.5L of water per day.
- Limit alcohol and cigarettes that have adverse effects on the quality of sleep. Alcohol and nicotine are responsible for a very disturbed sleep (frequent awakenings, reduction of the duration of the deep sleep ...).
- Avoid stimuli too strong before bedtime that they are auditory, intellectual or visual (computer screen, brightness too strong, video games ...).
