Exhaustion Despite Sufficient Sleep Linked to Serious Health Issues
Summary
Many people experience fatigue and tiredness despite getting eight hours of sleep, which may indicate poor quality sleep or underlying conditions like sleep apnea.
Key Points
- Quality of sleep, not just duration, is crucial for feeling rested, according to Dr. Steven Thau.
- Disturbances during sleep prevent reaching deep sleep stages, causing persistent tiredness.
