Question

What courses this?

Sometimes i will sleep for 8 hours then go back to sleep becouase of being very tierd then sleep for another 6-8 hours aswell.

Answer 1

My sleep doctor says that your body only needs about 8 hours of sleep a night and anything more than that tends to make you feel worse. It is all based on cycles of REM sleep. You should try to cut back to 8 hours and see how you feel. You might also want to contact a sleep study center in your area for additional help if you don't feel better with less sleep.

Answer 2

There is a thing called over-tired. Your body rests so much, it sort of loses its routine. It is seriously unhealthy.

Best thing to do is to cut down to a 7 hour night sleep. Ex, 12 am- 7 am. Wake up, get out of bed, shower, eat, do somethign where you move. It's sort of like excersizing, but it's getting your body back in the habbit. The best night sleep a person can get is 8 hours, but for some people 6 hours is enough.

Answer 3

It's true that age is a factor in the amount of sleep we need. It sounds as though you are a teen, and that means not less than 8 hrs, but your need for so much more is a tip-off that something is wrong.

Depression, anemia, diabetes, and chronic fatigue syndrom are among the possible culprits here, but whatever the cause, it is probably quite serious.

I take it that you are enquiring here because physicians cost; they cost too much. If you cannot pay a doctor, investigate Medicaid, but you need to consult someone, and that needs to be done very quickly.

I wish I could help you more. Good luck and God bless you kid.

Answer 4

If you are overweight and/or snore heavily, you may have sleep apnea. it will wake you up hundreds of times every night as you tend to stop breathing and mementarily wake up to take a breath and fall asleep again repeatedly.
Have yourself checked as a severe case can cause heart disease among other serious problems,. And the former disease can kill yuou within 4 years. A sleep clinic should be able to determine if that is the problem or that it has another cause.
Sleep apnea can be treated some times with medication. It is more often treated with a C.P.A.P. (continuous positive airway pressure machine), machine that assists breathing during sleeptime. It takes a little getting used to but it usually works and you will feel a million times better when you wake up. I know it saved my life.

Answer 5

We're all different. I sleep 4 to 6 hours a night, before getting up at 4.30 am for work, and yet I'm usually not tired (at least til about 6pm, then I start to wind down).

You should go see your doctor, as you may have anything from sleep apnoea (in basic words snoring that keeps you awake) or perhaps you suffer stress, or maybe even something more important.

Answer 6

Hi. Do you have any other symptoms? Some people can sleep alot but it may not be restorative sleep. Your serotonin levels may be low. Eat some rice cakes with jam on them at night to increase your serotonin levels and increase your chances of getting restorative sleep. I have the same problem sometimes. It's good to go for a walk in the evening too. Good luck. Hope this helps.

Answer 7

Could be a number of things, depression can make you very tired, ME, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes or even something as simple as boredom can make you feel very tired. I would book an urgent appointment with your Doctor, they will run any tests to find out if there is an actual health problem. You could simply be someone that needs a lot of sleep.If you don't take any regular exercise, try starting to do a little, this may make you feel more energised.

Answer 8

There might be lotz of reasons for becoming tired even after hours of sleep. Try few things out and see if you are feeling better.

- Check for haemoglobin content in your blood. If it is low, then you need to have iron tablets/tonics. Consult your doctor.

If you are healthy enough, then
- Go for regular exercise.
- If that is not possible, walk for sometime after dinner. walk very slowly (don't walk as you walk in a threadmill).
- Come back, have a glass of lukewarm milk and go for sleep. Milk usually induces good sleep.

Try it out!

Answer 9

there are many causes of this. The most common is that you may be getting either too much sleep, or waking in the middle of a sleep cycle. we sleep in 4 hourly cycles, and to wake up in the middle of one of these can result in feeling like you've had next to no sleep.
However, there are many other causes of fatigue such as this, and though many have other symptoms, you may not present or recognise any of these.
If you are worried and this continues, you are best to visit your doctor to see if there is anything it could be.

Answer 10

You are waking at the wrong point in your biorythm cycle. You need to sleep for either 9 hours or 12 hours, give or take 10 minutes.
