Daytime drowsiness involves excessive sleepiness and fatigue during waking hours, impairing concentration and alertness. It can be caused by medication, sleep disruptions, or underlying conditions and poses safety risks.
Daytime drowsiness is a state of excessive sleepiness or fatigue experienced during normal waking hours. It can manifest as difficulty concentrating, impaired alertness, slowed reaction time, and a general feeling of being tired or sluggish. In severe cases, it may lead to involuntary napping or falling asleep at inappropriate times. This side effect can stem from various factors, including medication effects on the central nervous system, disruptions in sleep cycles, or underlying medical conditions exacerbated by the drug or treatment. While generally mild, persistent or severe daytime drowsiness can significantly impair daily activities and pose safety risks, particularly when driving or operating machinery.
