Dysania is characterized by an overwhelming need to stay in bed. Medically speaking, dysania may be better known as either sleep inertia or fatigue. It’s the long-term feeling that you’re unable to get out of bed. And even when you do manage to wake up and get going, all you want is to go back to sleep.

Dysani or sleep inertia refers to a state of intense sleepiness that continues even after you’re up and moving.

Researchers call it a transitional stage between sleep and wakefulness, during which you might not be productive or alert. When you’re experiencing sleep inertia, you feel a strong urge to go back to sleep.

Individuals may experience other symptoms alongside dysania, depending on the underlying cause. Concurrent symptoms may include excessive daytime sleepiness.

Sleep experts recommend that the bed only be used for sleeping and sex, and not other activities, in order to improve sleep at night.

Spending excessive time in bed may be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as depression.

People with these conditions tend to have unrefreshing sleep. They may also sleep longer and may spend extra time in bed due to exhaustion.
