Two suggestions. Dehydration and lack of exercise.
Dehydration accounts for a wide range of problems. Drink plenty of water during the day, but stop about a couple of hours before you go to bed. If you wake up with headaches, dehydration is strongly indicated.
Make sure you have some exercise. Soon after you get up is a good plan. Go out for a brisk half hour walk. Go up and down your stairs 10 times. This will get your cardio-vascular system working. That will stop it from beinbg "lazy" frst thing in the morning.
Have some slow release energy food early in the morning. Whole grain cereals and peanut butter are two excellent examples (not necessarily together, but, if that's your thing).
By all means see your doctor if you are worried, but don't put your trust in anti-depressants. Once on them, they are very difficult to come off of. The chemicals in them can remain in your system for up to 10 years. Be very sure you need them before you start.
You can always try Nature's anti depressant. It is readily available without prescription. It is chocolate. Plain unsweetened is best, but have whatever your tastes prefer.

Are you tossing and turning and waking up a ton through the night? Try sleeping in a different bed, or if you can afford it buy a new mattress this could be the problem.
If you are sleeping good but still tired you can try an exercise routine. This usually provides people with more energy after a few days of light workouts. Its also supposed to help you sleep better and get more refreshing sleep.

Yes, talk to your doctor.
One-time eight-hour sleep is not enough to get you rested, it has to be regular occurrence over a period of time.
You have to eat right, too. I mean, a balanced diet (caffeine is not the best of ideas... but it works a bit, for a short time - not for me, though) can get your energy levels up and running in no time.
What works for me is a good night's sleep, a shower, and a good breakfast (low-fat milk, honey, and cornflakes / muesli, recently), and I am up and running by the time I get to work. Also, something warm in the winder (tea, usually), helps.
Drink a lot of water, dehydration will make you feel like a piece of floor-wash rag.

Sleep in it's self doesn't always stop you feeling tired. Exercise can help you sleep the correct way because it produces hormones which re-balance the body's chemistry. Food also plays its part. Fatty and sweet foods can make you lethargic which encourage sleep but doesn't actually stop you from being tired. Fruit and Veg always help. I'm not a health freak (I'm 19 stone) but I eat lots of fruit and veg and it really does help.

Have you tried Plocher?
Crystalline Energy really, really helps me to keep awake and alert all day every. I work full-time and I need to stay alert for my two-hour drive each way to and from work. So I take a glass of Crystalline Energy before I leave home in the mornings. It keeps me awake and alert all day.
The only problem with it is if I take some late in the day, say after 6:00pm. If I do that, it keeps me awake half the night!
I get it from Swift Nature.

It's not the quantity oof sleep that counts, it's the quality too.
Make your sleep time more efficient by putting on 45mins of soothing music before you go to bed. Meditation and exercise during the day also will help you at bedtime.

It could be just normal, but you should go out and maybe get an energy drink. don't drink more than eight ounces a day though. a little bit of chemicals is bad enough

Are you depressed? Could you possibly have a sleep disorder. I do. This has made me so tired, but, now that i use a cpap machine, i feel more awake and rejuvenated after sleep.

I am not sure about you, but for me, I try to exercise more often. Sometimes it could be because I sleep too much. I went to the doctor once and was given vitamins to eat. Maybe you can try that out.

Speak to your GP, there could be any number of reasons. Low iron levels for a start.
