Question:
What is the medical cause of 'dazing off'?
the other day someone was talking to me while i was eating and i literally didn't hear anything they were said -- it was like i had dazed off into space for a second and when my mind clicked back in they had to repeat themselves - what is the medical reason for 'dazing off' what causes this? does it happen to everyone?
Answers:
There can be any number of causes for a temporary lapse of attention, like from a lack of proper sleep (you are tired & so is your brain), or stress (your brain is engaged in thinking about something else, possibly something that worries you, it is VERY difficult to maintain attention/focus when you are worried or thinking about something else). If it happens alot, it can be from a temporary lack of blood supply to the area of the brain which maintains attention, as in ADD/ADHD, or it could be just plain boredom. It is common, especially in this hectic, distracting world, but there are ways to learn to stay focused. Hope this helps.
