When running fast in Ramadan, usually drowsiness will come over. But in fact, after a long sleep, the body does not feel fresh but it feels increasingly weak. Why is this?
"When fasting specifically in the month of Ramadan, the body will be deprived of sleep and more sleep debt.'s Make the body adapt to how sleepy more often and the body becomes limp. Very reasonable," said Dr. Andreas Prasadja, RPSGT, is familiarly called Dr. Ade, sleep health experts from RS Mitra Kemayoran, when we call and written on Wednesday (10/07/2013).
Dr. Ade also added that Ramadan fasting hours of sleep would be reduced because the activity of eating a meal every night before morning. With this routine, bedtime will automatically be reduced, not as usual.
While not being in the month of Ramadan, the recommended hours of sleep per day is approximately 7-8 hours. However, with the reduction in the hours of sleep will certainly be reduced. To meet this reduction, the body will continue to strive to meet the hours of sleep, so that during the day people will experience excessive sleepiness.
The presence of excessive sleepiness will make someone actually be mostly sleeping, consequently his body became limp. Should continue to do activities in the hours that it was supposed to, but give it time approximately around 15 minutes on the sidelines of the lunch break to rest.
"For example, during the day she continued to sleep until the afternoon sleepiness without any other activity, it will not give a good effect too. Essentially, this is because his debt is still a lot and still need to sleep again," said Dr. Ade.
Sleep while fasting in Ramadan is actually very important, so that metabolism remains smooth. In addition, getting enough sleep will keep your appetite remained fair and not excessive. According to Dr. Ade, lack of sleep will make increased appetite and continue to be influential until iftar.
