Yawning Could Be a Warning Sign You Can’t Ignore
Excessive yawning and daytime sleepiness may be signs of a serious sleep deficit that could harm your long-term health, according to experts. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine warns that chronic sleep deprivation can lead to accidents, cognitive impairments, and long-term health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. While many people dismiss sleepiness as a minor problem, it can seriously affect brain function, coordination, and reaction time, increasing the risk of drowsy driving accidents. Experts recommend addressing sleepiness with proper sleep hygiene and seeking medical advice if sleep issues persist.
