Feeling drowsy even after sleeping all night? If so, there are chances of deficiency of these vitamins

Do you also get tired and drowsy in the daytime even after having a full night's sleep? If so, then it may not only be due to stress or hectic schedule, but it may also be concealed behind the absence of some necessary vitamins in your body. As per experts, sometimes tiredness even after sleep is connected with our nutritional level. Because of the lifestyle at present, irregular eating habits and the absence of nutrient-rich elements, the level of necessary vitamins within the body becomes low. It not only reduces your energy level but also heavily impacts your mind and sleep quality. Let us find out about which vitamins deficiency can be the primary reason behind your day's sleep and lethargy.

Vitamin B12 deficiency

Vitamin B12 plays an important role in the production of red blood cells and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Because of the deficiency of this vitamin, the oxygen level of the body gets affected, as a result of which the individual becomes tired and sleepy. According to doctors, if an individual feels tired and drowsy all the time, then he should have his vitamin B12 level tested.

The role of vitamin D

Vitamin D deficiency not only causes weakness and pain in the bones, but it also influences the mood and energy of the individual. Studies have revealed that vitamin D deficiency may poor the quality of sleep and can make individuals sleepy during the day. Professionals recommend that staying in the sun for a short while every day and consuming foods rich in vitamin D is highly essential.

Iron and folic acid deficiency

Deficiency of iron lowers the amount of hemoglobin in the body, which interferes with the oxygen supply. This results in an individual experiencing laziness and drowsiness during the day. Deficiency of iron is very prevalent, particularly among women and adolescents, which is the primary source of sleep deprivation and lack of energy.

Magnesium deficiency

Magnesium regulates the neurotransmitters that control sleep. Because of its deficiency, the individual can sleep at night but not deep and comfortably. This leads to fatigue even upon waking up in the morning.

1. Have your vitamins checked every now and then.
2. Add green leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts and milk products to a balanced diet.
3. Take supplements if necessary, after consulting a doctor.
4. Stay out in the sun for at least 20 minutes.
5. Restrict screen time to enhance sleep quality.
