Looks like some answers are based on your name (sweet tooth)! :) It's true you should have your blood glucose (and ketones, through urinalysis) checked, since if you have type 1 or 2 diabetes (or hybrid) you should be treating it right away; but also, you might do well to have your thyroid (T4, free TSH, etc.) and hormones (progesterone, estrogen) evaluated, because problems with either of those can cause excessive fatigue as well. Also make sure your B12 level is within normal limits (another tube of blood, sorry!). Sleep apnea and depression are other considerations as well. And I'm not sure how old you are or how long this has been going on, but pregnancy takes a lot out of ya too. :) Good luck.

possibly your mattress. Some say that the comfort level in your bed determines how much actual rest you get.
Personally, I subscribe to the school of thought that suggests you need to get into a routine...going to bed and waking up at the same time every night makes a bigger difference in how rested you feel than how much time you actually spend in bed. That has worked for me for years...and I've slept in some VERY uncomfortable places and woke up just as refreshed as ever.
I had the same problem for a while...and the routine thing worked well for me. I started hitting the hay at midnight every night, and waking up at 8..no matter weekend or workday. I never felt exhausted after that.

time to consult a doctor and tell them the symptoms.
There are many, many conditions that could be causing the problem, including sleep apnea, anemia, depression, fibromyalgia, and countless others. You doctor will consider all other symptoms you are experiencing, ask you questions, perhaps take some blood tests, and go from there. It could be nothing, it could be an easily treated ailment, or something more.
It is best to ask a doctor though, to find out all you can without wondering and conjecturing.

There are a few reasons why right off the top of my head.Depression is one reason I'm leaning towards that one.Sleep apnea is another.If you a teen it has to do with serotonin levels.The serotonin could also tie into depression.

Lack of oxygen.. You need to consume the right amount of oxygen during your sleep to regain energy..
You cant have too much of sleep or too little of sleep...
8hrs is recommendable.. But for some, 8hrs may be too much and for some, it may be too little. It varies..
Best to consult your doctor with regards to your sleeping problems...
cheers...(",)

You should go to the doctor and get your blood levels checked. A lot of people suffer with low iron levels. It can cause you to be lethargic .

It is possibly that your blood sugar goes too low during the night.
You may want to check out the symptoms page at www.hufa.org and see if that is your only symptom.

You probably eat to much sugar and not enough protein. Drink more water! Even if you do not think you eat too much sugar, you still should drink more water.

..Good luck. Try links below. It could just be chronic fatigue. Depression could be a key factor.
