Sleepiness: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

<onlyinclude>'''Sleepiness''' can be described as an increased urge to sleep combined with a growing inability to stay awake without feeling a decrease in one's physical energy levels. Unlike [[sedation]], this effect does not necessarily decrease physical energy levels but instead decreases [[wakefulness]], resulting in a propensity for tired, clouded, and sleep-prone ~~behavior~~. This can lead into a decreased motivation to perform tasks, as the increase in one's desire to sleep begins to outweigh other considerations. Prolonged exposure to this effect without appropriate rest can lead to [[cognitive fatigue]] and a range of other cognitive suppressions.
