If for most humans on this earth, repeated yawning is associated with a sign of intense fatigue, for scientists, the conclusion can be quite different and revealing of serious health problems.
The American Sleep Medicine Academy has published a study that could make you ask several questions about your state of health. Indeed, the yawn, this uncontrolled opening of the mouth which translates a need for sleep in most cases, can reveal certain more serious health problems.
Indeed, Eric Olson, pulmonologist and president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, advances in his study that a too large frequency must be closely monitored: “Daily sleep is a serious health problem that can have multiple consequences“Reports the CNN.
A lack of sleep that can be harmful
This is not the first time that research has confirmed the misdeeds of a lack of sleep. For good reason, this can reflect a development or an increase in diabetes, depression, heart disease, increased blood pressure or obesity.
-For Doctor Indira Gurubhagavatula, the perception of our fatigue must be taken seriously: “The unhappiness demonstrated statistically is that the lack of chronic sleep alters the ability of people who suffer from perceiving their level of fatigue, precisely.”
Researchers add that adjustments are necessary to improve the quality of sleep as much as possible: “The products containing too much caffeine, alcohol, or narcotic products and intense physical expenditure are to be avoided. Bad global hygiene and a sleep made delicate because of too cold, too hot, too bright or too noisy conditions can also play on sleep quality.”
