Suggest Treatment For Excessive Sleeping
Question: I sleep alot and this is affecting my relationship. What can i do to reduce my sleep.??
Brief Answer:
Drugs like Modafinil is effective for excessive sleep
Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern of excessive sleepiness.
At the outset I would advise you to consult a physician for proper evaluation and to find out the underlying cause if any responsible for the excessive sleep.
The most common causes of excessive daytime sleepiness are sleep deprivation, obstructive sleep apnea, and sedating medications.
Other potential causes include certain medical and psychiatric conditions and sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy.
The evaluation and management of excessive daytime sleepiness is based on the identification and treatment of underlying conditions (particularly obstructive sleep apnea), and the appropriate use of activating medications.
I would suggest Modafinil or Armadofinil that can make a person feel more alert.
These are non-amphetamine drugs.
The common side effects of these medications are headaches, nausea, nervousness, dizziness, stuffy nose, diarrhea, back pain, and difficulty sleeping.
Hope the suggestion given above could be useful.
