Hi I want to ask about my diet. I feel lazy and tired all day and feel sleepy even during the day. I don't feel like studying. What should I do and my stomach is also getting bigger?

Dear Anushka, Thank you for the question.

The quality of sleep has an enormous impact on daily life since poor or disordered sleep can affect your work, concentration and the ability to interact with others. During sleep, both physical and mental restoration take place, allowing you to feel fresh and alert in the morning.
Poor sleep can be caused due to sedentary lifestyle, dietary factors, environmental factors, stress, and/or any underlying health condition which may require further medical assistance. We suggest you to please contact a specialized health care professional for further diagnosis and management.
