He explained that the promoters of this myth believe that it is better not to stand immediately after waking up, but rather to move on the bed for a few minutes, because the brain at this time needs more blood loaded with oxygen.
Shaaban attributed the reason for the error of this information to the autonomic nervous system, noting that it has a great ability to control blood pressure when changing the position of the body, especially from lying down to standing.

The former dean of the Heart Institute pointed out that there is only one case in which getting out of bed quickly may lead to a feeling of dizziness, which is “suffering from a defect in the vagus nerve.”
To avoid this, Shaaban recommended that people with juice disorder drink plenty of fluids, such as water and natural juices, take medications that raise blood pressure, and wear compression stockings.
