A snoozer is characterised by
Could become sleepy during the daytime more often than he realises. This interferes with doing things where he would have to stay put. A snoozer must fight hard to stay awake. It is always easier when moving. Night time sleep might be extended. Sometimes others say that the snoozer has become sleepier, but he usually doesn’t realise this. During the daytime, snoozing can easily occur; in some cases only for a few minutes. Sometimes it is impossible to wake up if he has already fallen asleep. Uncontrollable fatigue and snoozing interfere with focusing and disrupt the daily rhythm of life. Mostly, naps provide short-term recuperation, but in some cases the person might feel even sleepier immediately after snoozing.
Snoozer’s Feeling
It might be that a positive or negative emotion triggers weakness in some body part – the tongue becomes soft, things fall, the knees become weak or they fall easily. Sometimes daytime sleepiness is accompanied by a long night time sleep, sometimes disrupted sleep and nightmares, and parasomnia instead. Sleep-wakefulness rhythm disorder could also develop. Frequent health disorders could cause mood swings, anxiety, and stress.
