​ What causes your baby to suddenly become sleepy?

It is normal for a baby to sleep about 20 hours a day. Many babies will suddenly show symptoms of drowsiness. So what exactly causes the baby to suddenly become drowsy? Let’s take a look with the editor.

1. Environmental factors

If one's life is lonely and monotonous, the environment is lonely, and if one also has poor physical strength, poor heart function, or suffers from bone and joint diseases, one tends to be inactive and prone to sleepiness.

2. Physical factors

Physical weakness, especially when suffering from some systemic diseases such as hypothyroidism or lung infection, often has early symptoms of mental depression and drowsiness. For example, in elderly pneumonia, sometimes the main clinical manifestation is fatigue and drowsiness, while other symptoms such as fever and leukocytosis are not very obvious.

3. Drug factors

It mainly refers to the side effects of sleeping pills, because some sleeping pills have a longer duration of action. In addition, if there is chronic renal failure or hypoalbuminemia, the after-effects of sleeping pills are likely to occur. The after-effects manifest as poor spirits, fatigue and drowsiness after getting up the next day.

4. Brain Factors

When drowsiness occurs, the first thing to consider is whether there is a brain disease. Brain inflammation, brain tumors, brain atrophy, cerebral arteriosclerosis and cerebrovascular disease can all cause drowsiness. If you suspect that your drowsiness is caused by a brain disease, you should go to the hospital for a detailed examination in time for an early diagnosis.

The above are the reasons why babies suddenly become sleepy. Parents should pay close attention to their baby's sleep. If they find anything unusual, they should go to the hospital in time to ensure that the baby will not miss the best treatment time.
