Hi , I'm 18 years old and I'm having bad dayz in work and family , every time my father and I shout to each other or I get angry I feel so sleepy I know it's kind of weird but every time I finishe the shouting I feel sleepy and I also want to sleep for long hours like five or three hours but in the night or if I'm watching something it's oki but if I'm not doing something or in the work if I have bad day I feel sleep in work or in the house , so what is this all about ?

I think you're really perceptive to make this connection that some might not make. You're probably not sleeping all that well to start with, and when you have your outburst with your dad you might get a sense of resolution that allows you to relax and fall asleep.

Or, as there are many connections between mind and body, your anger could be triggering reactions that make you sleepy (the liver is connected with anger and it produces bile that can make a person sleepy).

You might try to employ some anger management that reduces your anger and outbursts, and experiment to see if you still get sleepy.

I don't think that science and medicine care enough about these sorts of issues to offer explanations, and they tend to have multiple causes that make explanations difficult. Another cause can be the mind shutting the body down as a defense mechanism, in your case to avoid further conflict with your dad. If you're asleep, it's going to be hard to fight with him and cause more damage.

That happens to me too, so don't listen to this person #2 I just take a short nap and when I wake up, I'm not tired anymore and I've temporarily forgotten about what made me mad. My guess is that your adrenal gland and your pineal gland are linked. When you get mad the adrenal gland starts secreting adrenaline into your body and it somehow interacts with the pineal gland in your brain which secretes melatonin which makes you sleepy.

Just a guess though
