(Best Syndication) People with nasal problems are more likely to suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), according to a study from Japan. Certain conditions, including obstructed nasal passages and sleep-disordered breathing, allergies, rhinosinusitis, or a deviated septum are possible reasons why people have trouble staying awake during the day.

The research, published in Otolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery, involved 6,790 patients. Although these breathing maladies are not life threatening, the condition can "severely impact a person's quality of life by negatively affecting their work and social activities."
