Symptoms of sleepiness and dreaminess

If you often feel heavy sleepiness during the day, you may have hypersomnia, which is one of the most obvious symptoms. After falling asleep, narcoleptic patients may experience sleep paralysis, which means that they may be unable to move for a short period of time when falling asleep or waking up. Studies have shown that this condition is related to excessive and insufficient REM sleep and wakefulness. Many patients with narcolepsy may experience hypnotic hallucinations when falling asleep or before sleep paralysis. Generally speaking, these hypnotic hallucinations are dream-like images, so you need to pay attention.

Sleepiness patients may also experience symptoms of cataplexy, which refers to a sudden loss of muscle strength and paralysis in which the head or body cannot move while the patient is still conscious. The patient may also experience slurred speech and inability to lift objects. In severe cases, it may cause drowsiness in patients to feel faint and cause their knees to buckle. But generally speaking, less than half of hypersomniacs experience cataplexy, which is caused by the brain suddenly entering a paradoxical sleep.
