"When we have a low arousal level, the nervous system has a decreased reaction to the sensory input coming in and therefore doesn’t react or respond as quickly, or at all, to the input. Individuals with low arousal level find it hard to remain alert and focused, tend to seek out a lot of input in order to better register and respond to it. They may be hard to motivate and get moving, or may be in perpetual motion [in an attempt to stay awake]." Module III: Intervention of Sensory and Motor Issues in Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome

Hypoglycemia
Hormones which Affect Blood Sugar Levels "Blood sugar levels are carefully controlled to stay within a very narrow range to meet the needs of cells throughout the body. Hormones—primarily insulin and glucagon—control the amount of glucose in the blood. Insulin and glucagon are produced in the pancreas, a large gland in the upper abdomen. Other hormones involved in the control of blood sugar levels include cortisol, epinephrine, and growth hormone, which are produced by other glands in the endocrine system such as the adrenal glands. These hormones also help control other body functions." Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar)

Many people who suffer from Internet addiction also suffer from depression. I have personally found aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking,to be helpful. Exercise vs. Drugs for Depression
The Brain: Frontal Lobes: Pseudodepression
Some cases of depression might be caused by cognitive dissonance and an asymmetry between the two hemispheres of the brain (hemispheric asymmetry), and might be treated using dual-brain psychology. For more information about cognitive dissonance and dual-brain psychology please visit the Research Topics page.
