Spring drowsiness is not an illness, but a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs with the change of seasons. The reason is: in winter, to prevent the loss of a large amount of heat energy, the blood vessels in the entire skin are in a constricted state under the regulation of the central nervous system. In spring, as the weather warms and the earth revives, the skin's blood vessels and pores gradually dilate, and the blood flow to the skin increases significantly. However, since the total blood flow in the human body is relatively stable, an increase in blood supply to the skin means a relative decrease in blood supply to the brain. Additionally, as the days gradually lengthen and the nights shorten in spring, people's sleep time is relatively reduced, which makes them feel drowsy and want to sleep.
