Why do I feel so sleepy when I have my period?

We feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, nap in summer and sleep in winter. It seems that we are in a state of extreme sleepiness all year round. In addition, we feel sleepy when we pick up a book, when we memorize English words, and when we lie down in bed. After my period came, I became extremely sleepy and would rather lie down than sit. Is it because after your period comes, your body becomes weaker and more sleepy? In fact, this is premenstrual syndrome, which is a variety of physical reactions caused by changes in body functions.

1. Insufficiency of Qi and blood. Many women will experience insufficient qi and blood during their menstrual period, especially those who are physically weak. The main symptoms are dizziness, palpitations, lack of words, fatigue, and usually after meals, sleepiness is more obvious.

2. Insufficient kidney energy. Generally speaking, women who suffer from frequent miscarriages are prone to kidney deficiency. Of course, other reasons for kidney deficiency are not ruled out, which are mainly manifested in deafness and tinnitus, dull expression, fatigue and drowsiness, sore limbs, and lack of physical strength.

3. Spleen deficiency and dampness. This type of cause is more common in obese women and is accompanied by edema, which is mainly manifested in loss of appetite, increased vaginal discharge, heavy limbs, listlessness, heavy head and light feet, and slow pulse.

So, how to overcome drowsiness during menstruation?

1. Eat a light diet. Barley porridge, yam porridge, etc. have good effects of removing dampness and strengthening the spleen. If women feel sleepy during menstruation, they can eat some of them appropriately. However, they should not eat spicy, greasy, cold or icy things to avoid increasing moisture in the body and making them more sleepy.

2. Sleep should be regular. During menstruation, women should pay special attention to their work and rest schedule. Don't stay up late or go to bed late, but don't be too sleepy either. Otherwise, too much sleep will increase the burden on the body. Early to bed and early to rise is the best work and rest schedule.

3. Strengthen exercise. It is estimated that 8 out of 10 girls do not like sports, but it is precisely because of long-term lack of exercise that the body cannot relax, the metabolic function declines, and the physical fitness also deteriorates, leading to various physical discomforts. Slow walking, Tai Chi, etc. can promote blood circulation, replenish the body's yang energy, and help get rid of sleepiness.
