FAINTING - When you faint, in simple words, it's like suddenly going to sleep when you're not tired. It's due to a brief loss of blood in the brain and can happen if there is emotional stress in your life, low sugar levels in the blood, or just by being physically tired. The person who fainted should wake up again after several seconds or a few minutes and should remain in a sitting or lying down position for a least ten minutes until their body has had a chance to return to normal.
