Your body needs sleep to heal itself and perform essential processes. Anything that prevents you from receiving the ideal amount and quality of sleep might make you feel overly tired. And that tiredness might strike during your regular activities, which can negatively impact your performance. Take, for example, the video circulating on Instagram that shows a little child taking a nap on the soccer pitch—while standing.
The kid was reportedly too eager about the game to sleep the night before, according to South Asian news source Seasia News. Cut to the actual game, the kid fell asleep in the middle of the ground snoozing away while everyone else chased the ball.
The other players just dribbled around him as if he were a pint-sized traffic cone. Even the referee, who came over to see how the youngster was doing, saw that he was merely in need of a little nap. The boy slept for a little while before getting back to playing.
While the situation highlights the need for a better sleep cycle, the comment section could not help but take a humorous turn.
A user said, “Me every Monday to Friday.”
Another user jokingly said, “That’s my lost son right there.”
A third user said, “I bet he has a super good heavy meal.”
“Legend has it he is still sleeping,” read a comment.
Meanwhile, some users mentioned that it could be “sleep apnea.”
According to the Cleveland Clinic, sleep apnea is a condition that makes it difficult for you to breathe at night. Your brain tries to keep you alive by keeping you awake for a sufficient period for breathing, but this keeps you from getting a good night’s sleep. This condition has the potential to develop major side effects over time.
In severe circumstances, this may make you drowsy during the day while carrying out day-to-day functions.
Your age determines how much sleep is advised. Although it differs from person to person as well, the CDC recommends the following lengths according to age:
0 to 3 months: 14–17 hours
12 to 16 hours a day, including naps, for 4 to 12 months
11–14 hours a day, including naps, for children ages 1–2
