Getting out of bed in the morning is not our favorite activity, but it can be even worse if you are prone to dizzy spells. That lightheaded, woozy feeling can be caused by a number of factors, but should fade fairly fast. That said, it would be wonderful if it wasn’t there at all! Here are some reasons it might be happening, and what you can do to prevent it.
Dehydration
We may sound like your mom, but are you drinking enough? A lack of fluids—and we’re talking water here—can actually have an effect on your brain, making you dizzy. You may be familiar with this if you’ve ever woken up with a hangover. Being in hot conditions and perspiring can also cause dehydration, so make sure you’re getting plenty of water throughout the day.
Low Blood Sugar
Some people get hangry when they haven’t eaten—others feel faint. Hypoglycaemia is when your blood sugar is low, usually from not eating, which is why you may experience wooziness before breakfast.
Low Blood Pressure
Standing up too quickly can cause your blood pressure to plummet, making you feel like you want to hit the floor too. Take it easy when getting out of bed.
