Sleeping Problems.Dont feel rested ?

Question

My boyfriend sleeps alot..He said he sleeps threw the night but he doesnt feel rested.he as no engry to go out and do anything does any one have any suggustions

Answer 1

He may have what is known as Obstructive sleep apnea, where a person goes into deep sleep, quits breathing which wakes him up.  this happens without the person being aware of it. It is more common in obese men. If he has day time sleepiness and high blood pressure, it is very likely he has it.  He needs to see a sleep specialist, who is generally a lung specialist also.

Answer 2

I just saw a segment on the News Hour with Jim McLehr on PBS about sleep problems.   It said apnea is a big problem for about a forth of the population.  He should go to his doctor and have the doctor refer him to a sleep study center.

Answer 3

he might be depressed. one of the symptoms is being tired all the time.

Answer 4

hmm... i know this might sound like grandmother or something she might suggest but try this:

1. let him have a nice aroma therapeutic soak in the tub.

2. make this tea recipe:

   * 3 cups hot water

   * 2 green tea bags (or your favorite tea)

   * 2 limes

   * and add honey to up to the desired sweetness.

It will taste a little bitter but it works wonders for me.

3. make sure the comforter is extra fluffy :D

hope this helps! and good luck ^0^

Answer 5

apparently if you roll a lot while you sleep, you get a lot more tired during the day

Answer 6

Tell him to try and get some more exercise. Some causes of sleeping problems arise from no exercise and the usual routine of having a sedentary lifestyle. Try bike riding! Its fun and easy and a good way to stay in shape!
