Sleeping for few seconds

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

I just happened to sleep for a moment after consciously reading an article, when my eyes closed automatically, and i got the sleepy feeling for a second and the mobile on which i was reading the article fell off my hands, and i regained consciousness just about immediately. And i remind you that this happened for hardly a second that i slept and regained back my consciousness, and continued reading the article with the same consciousness and focussed. I dont know but this has happened to me several times. I do take 5 hours of sleep everyday. Can anybody help me put in this. How it could be that i fall asleep just for a second after normally reading the article and regaining consciousness with the same level of alertness as before. Please help as to what could be the issue.

Hello there. I can understand your concern. You are not sleeping enough thats why you are falling asleep. And also reading an article while holding a phone above you, definitely will make the phone fall on your face if you doze. Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep everyday. Its important. Best regards.

Sleeping for 5 hrs is good enough. Don't worry.
