When blood glucose does not reach all cells, there is a lack of energy. Diabetics urinate more frequently, lose weight easily, experience muscle loss, and, consequently, physical fatigue. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): A condition characterized by the obstruction of the upper airways during sleep. Usually, this obstruction is accompanied by a decrease in blood oxygen saturation, followed by a brief awakening during the night to breathe. This disrupts sleep and rest, commonly resulting in waking up very tired, experiencing muscle fatigue, and feeling daytime drowsiness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Thyroid Disorders<\/strong> : Thyroid disorders can cause various symptoms that require attention, as they may worsen if untreated. When thyroid function is altered, the gland may be either overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). On the one hand, hyperthyroidism can cause symptoms such as agitation, nervousness, difficulty concentrating, and weight loss. On the other hand, hypothyroidism can lead to symptoms\nsuch as fatigue, memory loss, easy weight gain, dry and cold skin, irregular menstrual cycles, and hair loss. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biologix.com.br\/en\/2020\/08\/19\/a-importancia-da-investigacao-de-apneia-do-sono-para-o-cardiologista\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Heart Diseases<\/strong><\/a>: Common cardiovascular conditions such as arrhythmia and artery blockage can cause frequent fatigue and dizziness.

Even if you have not\ndone some of the described activities recently, consider how they might have affected you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Epworth Sleepiness Scale, developed by Dr. Murray Johns, is a widely used tool to measure the degree of daytime sleepiness. The total score ranges from 0 to 24. Scores above 10 indicate the presence of sleepiness, and scores above 16 show severe sleepiness. A score of up to 9 points suggests a condition considered normal. If the score is above this, it is recommended to see a physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Biologix| Sonol\u00eancia e cansa\u00e7o diurno\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CTSXb-tx1QI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer the questionnaire found hereunder and test your drowsiness levels!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>\n  <strong>Situation<\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>No chance of dozing<\/strong><strong><\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>Slight chance of dozing<\/strong><strong><\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>Moderate chance of dozing<\/strong><strong><\/strong>\n  <\/td><td>\n  <strong>High chance of dozing<\/strong><strong><\/strong>\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Sitting and reading\n  <\/td><td>\n  0\n  <\/td><td>\n  1\n  <\/td><td>\n  2\n  <\/td><td>\n  3\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Watching T.V.\n  <\/td><td>\n  0\n  <\/td><td>\n  1\n  <\/td><td>\n  2\n  <\/td><td>\n  3\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Sitting inactive in a public place (theater, meeting or lecture)\n  <\/td><td>\n  0\n  <\/td><td>\n  1\n  <\/td><td>\n  2\n  <\/td><td>\n  3\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break\n  <\/td><td>\n  0\n  <\/td><td>\n  1\n  <\/td><td>\n  2\n  <\/td><td>\n  3\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Sitting quietly after a lunch without alcohol\n  <\/td><td>\n  0\n  <\/td><td>\n  1\n  <\/td><td>\n  2\n  <\/td><td>\n  3\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit\n  <\/td><td>\n  0\n  <\/td><td>\n  1\n  <\/td><td>\n  2\n  <\/td><td>\n  3\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Sitting and talking to someone\n  <\/td><td>\n  0\n  <\/td><td>\n  1\n  <\/td><td>\n  2\n  <\/td><td>\n  3\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  In a car, while stopped for a few minutes in traffic\n  <\/td><td>\n  0\n  <\/td><td>\n  1\n  <\/td><td>\n  2\n  <\/td><td>\n  3\n  <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Result<br>Sum the values you indicated for each response.\nScore 0 to 9: considered normal.<br>Score 10 to 24: if your score is higher than 10, you present sleepiness.
