So, Which is Worse?

None. The two disorders have a significant impact on one's quality of life but in different ways. Insomnia, often associated with poor sleep quality and symptoms of insomnia like sleep paralysis, can lead to fatigue, decreased focus, and long-term health issues, such as psychiatric disorders.

Conversely, hypersomnia can cause cognitive impairment, interfere with the sleep-wake cycle, and hinder daytime activities.

🛌 How to Avoid Falling Asleep in Front of the TV:

Set a 'Turn Off' Timer: If you enjoy some TV time before bed, use the sleep timer function to ensure it doesn't stay on all night.
Limit Electronic Devices Before Bed: Reduce exposure to all screens, not just the TV, at least an hour before bedtime to improve sleep quality.
