During the spring break, while some of my friends are going back to their hometown and some are traveling overseas, I am just staying at home all day and oversleep.
I usually sleep more than 10 hours during the break, but I often feel dizzy and have a headache after long hours of sleep.
According to WebMD.com, sleeping too much will cause some medical problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and increased risk of death.
How much sleep is regarded as "too much", then? It depends on your age and activity level as well as your general health and lifestyle habits. For instance, during periods of stress or illness, you may feel an increased need for sleep. But although sleep needs differ over time and from person to person, experts typically recommend that adults should sleep between seven and nine hours each night.
In WebMD.com, it also stated that for people who suffer from hyper somnia, oversleeping is actually a medical disorder. The condition causes people to suffer from extreme sleepiness throughout the day, which is not usually relieved by napping. It also causes them to sleep for unusually long periods of time at night. Many people with hypersomnia experience symptoms of anxiety, low energy, and memory problems as a result of their almost constant need for sleep.
Then, how should we stop oversleeping? I found a video about Tips to Prevent Oversleeping:
I will try to sit up in bed and do some outdoor activities.
Hope everyone has a wonderful spring break!

I can see that you understand why you should avoid oversleeping, and you seem to be serious about it. But you know what, you will still sleep for 10 hours a day. because it is Spring Breaaaaaaak and you are a 大懒猪. I am just kidding.
ReplyDeleteYour blog effectively provides information about the downsides of oversleeping. It also refers to convincing and scientific sources like WebMD.com, which makes this blog even more conclusive.
However, you can make your blog even better. Why not describe the anecdote in the beginning in a way that evokes the audience of their own experience of oversleeping. This would make your blog more resonant to the readers.
I can't believe Spring break ends so TMD fast.
Thank you for your advice!
DeleteI went home for spring break and slept like over 12 hours all week. Sometimes I would wake up in the morning and decide I don't wan to wake up yet, so I would force myself to go back to sleep. I fell like I have never gotten enough sleep, so it has to be that I am over sleeping. Ill have to try out a couple of things to see if it helps. I do know that I wont be able to do the alarm clock because they just make me ever more tired. But I will for sure try things out.
ReplyDeleteSleeping is always so sweet.
