I need at least 12 hours or more asleep each night, is this normal?

Question

I have insomnia and it takes forever for me to get to sleep but once I do I sleep for at least 12 hours.

Answer 1

It isn't good for you, you really should see a doctor...... you could have sleep apnea (sp?)

Answer 2

What each body needs is different, also people with insomnia often do not reach the deepest stages of sleep and this may be why you need more than the normal. I have insomnia too and I have recently started taking vitamin B-12 and it seems to be helping me sleep. You might try it.

Answer 3

It's not normal, but I'm the same way. I have insomnia, too. I need to get 12 hrs in order to feel my best. If I only got 8 hours like you're supposed to, I'd feel like I just went to bed.

Answer 4

Your body is trying to make up for the lost sleep. 12 hours would be too much. Do you work?

Answer 5

that all depends on how old you are they say teens need 10 to 12 hours of sleep and if you have trouble getting to sleep you my want to see a Doctor to get some pills fore that i did

Answer 6
