I’d love to hear from anyone who understands what I mean by micro naps (the feeling that your eyes are closing, probably only for a brief moment, but loose consciousness) during the day/evening. It’s something that I am looking to resolve. I know that sleep deprivation is at the route of it but it’s like a vicious circle. I’m trying to stay alert and stand up, go outside, wash my face etc whenever I, or my husband spot one. Some days it happens a lot, when I’m meditating or watching TV or a passenger in a car.
ThanksOh no, please don’t fight it. That is actually quite normal. I sleep well, but I get these too, it is a sign that your sleep system is healthy and your nervous system is desensitized enough to allow natural relaxation to take over. Don’t misinterpret this as sleep deprivation because it isn’t. It could be a sign you are simply too bored and unmotivated. Think being stuck in a boring movie, meeting or lecture. Getting up and engaging in some light physical work often works. Or you could lie down and actually take a nap.
