Why do I feel sleepy when I read a book? I often can't finish reading a paragraph of text in an afternoon. Is it a disease?

From the second day of junior high school, I began to feel sleepy in class, and it became more and more serious. I was often awake when the teacher appeared at the door of the classroom, but I fell asleep before he went to the podium, so that I couldn't study. I often fell asleep after reading four or five words in my own books (teaching books). After waking up, I couldn't remember what I had read, so I had to read from the beginning and then fell asleep again. In this way, I often couldn't read a paragraph of content for the whole afternoon, but I wasn't sleepy when I read novels?
Also, I often can't keep up with other people's lectures and prefer to read by myself.

Answer 1

This might be caused by your visual and auditory fatigue. Staring at the screen for a long time can cause fatigue in your eyes and brain, making you feel sleepy and distracted. In addition, reading requires concentration and understanding of the meaning of the text. If there are too many environmental noises or distractions, it may affect your reading experience.

If your symptoms persist and affect your quality of life and work efficiency, you may need to seek medical advice. Some common illnesses and health problems such as depression, anxiety, and nausea can also cause similar symptoms. If you think you may have a disease, consult your doctor as soon as possible for a diagnosis and treatment.
