Sleepiness
Almost half of adults find that excessive sleepiness affects their daytime function at least once a month. Usually this may be due to insufficient sleep at night. In some people, it may be due to poor quality of sleep because of abnormal movements or breathing at night. In others, a part of the brain responsible for our sleep rhythm may cause diseases such as narcolepsy or sleep phase disorder. Tr
