Why do we always feel sleepy when we are bored?
Especially studying...
Answer:
Lack of stimulation.
i wish i knew that
Perhaps it goes the other way around... you don't feel as sleepy when you aren't bored.
your mind tries to focus elsewhere because it causes it to process under conditions in which it doesnt want to - you end up being sleepy
Lack of stimulation will make you tired. Get up and take a brisk walk, or drink ice cold water.
because all we want to do is sleep, not listen about how some dude did something in 1804
Zzzzzzz....
Because our teachers drone on about things we've heard before and then we daydream and slowly begin to feel like dreaming instead of DAY dreaming. and *tada*you have detention for lseeping in class.
Probally because you smoke a lot of pot when your not doing anything so your mind is condition to feel that way when your bored.
Your body NEED OXYGEN! You're sitting still and your blood isn't moving and your blood gets bogged down. Get up and move around if you're nodding off while studying.
we rather sleep than study that the main reason why
because nothing something are we thinking
When studying it's because your mind is working over time and just like after you've done a lot in a day, it needs time to log it all in so it's like sleep = no in-put = data stored
When you're just bored...it's because your mind isn't being stimulated so you just nod off.
When you are bored, you get into a state of relaxation. When you are relaxed, your body does not process sufficient oxygen to the brain. When there is not sufficient oxygen to the brain, you will yawn. As your body is processing the oxygen to the brain and other parts of the body and putting yourself in a relaxed, sleepy state.
For studying the reason for the onset of boredom can be linked to the lack of stimulation of your other senses. Boredom during studying (especially reading) is a result of only stimulating your sense of sight. Indeed your sense of thought and being also is stimulated, however...that is an inner sense, not a sense used to determine outside stimuli.
In addition, the impersonal nature in which information is obtained via reading; it naturally suggests that is not of value or merit to a great deal of indiviuals. This is the reason why you find motion pictures with sound to be quite engaging and rarely become bored, unless of course...as I said you find the material contained therein impersonal and not applicable to you in your current existance.
cause you are not doing, so your body starts to rest
Mind relaxation to ease the pain of boredom cause your thinking stops and get in a rest mode while you are asleep. So getting sleepy when one is bored is not bad but sometimes does some good, then the mind is more elevated toward your studies.
I will have to say Lack of Stimulation as other people have already said.
It's not always that we are sleepy when we are bored. It could be that some people eat when they are bored, talk a lot when they are bored. It mostly comes from how you were raised and how your parents dealt with boredom. I can only guess that since you are a student, which means you probably don't get enough sleep, therefor when you sit and finally relax your body to read, you body is just happy that you are relaxed and is trying to catch up on some much needed rest.
Bordum is an activity using least amount of mental energy. When mind notices this situation it wants to stop even this wastage and the best option it has is to let the body limp eyes tend to close, jaw floating, tongue withdrawn , and ears closed to out side signals. We call this situation as sleep but mind knows it as energy saving device.
I think that it is just because are brains slow down when we not are thinking as hard so we kinda start sorta shutting down...opinion
Very good question!
You gotta run away from feeling bored because then, you see, you feel sleepy and I often got asleap on my books!!
My question would be like that:
Why do we get bored and of course sleepy when we study?
basicly cell activation is like electricity when its not big enough its called a brown out there isent a lot of blood in the brain and we think little...
excersise makes this go away !
and then think hard
Usually we are bored when there is hardly anything stimulating in the immediate environment. Less sensory input means less activation of the ascending reticular activating system in the brain. The ascending ret. activating sys. is what keeps the brain awake.
That's as simplified as I can make it.
