dåsig

Dåsig is a Swedish adjective that describes a state of being drowsy, sleepy, or sluggish. It conveys a feeling of mild lethargy, often accompanied by a desire to sleep or rest. The term can be used to describe a person's physical or mental state, or it can refer to the atmosphere of a place.

One might feel dåsig after a large meal, indicating a postprandial somnolence. It can also be a side effect of certain medications or a symptom of illness. In a more general sense, a quiet, warm afternoon might be described as dåsig, suggesting a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. The word implies a lack of energy and alertness, but not necessarily a deep or problematic sleepiness. It’s a common feeling that most people experience from time to time. The feeling is often temporary and resolves with rest or by engaging in more stimulating activities.
