Considering your stats, I would personally say you are not obese. Check the website below to determine your BMI.
Sleep disorders and disruptions can be caused by stress or chemical imbalances. If you think its because of your weight, check the list below.

"Overweight and obese individuals are at increased risk for many diseases and health conditions, including the following:
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Osteoarthritis (a degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint)
Dyslipidemia (for example, high total cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides)
Type 2 diabetes
Coronary heart disease
Stroke
Gallbladder disease
Sleep apnea and respiratory problems
Some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)"

Yes even though you sleep enough during the night you are still tired through out the day and even more after you eat. You are considered obesed. This will continue until you lose the weight. You have to fight the urge to sleep also after eating. Do more house work what ever to get you more energized.

Many things effect sleep. Changing seasons, what we eat, depression... it's a huge list. Even too much sleep can make us tired. Are you getting enough exercise? Exercise.. be it walking, aerobics, lifting weights.. which ever you choose, will help to sleep better. Getting enough vitamins & minerals through out the day will help as well. I wouldn't concider you to be obese, perhaps a few pounds over, but nothing extreme. You may have something else wrong... go see your doctor & discuss your concerns & they may be able to help you pin point what the problem is.

Hi... I'm 5'10 and I weighed 190 and was considered obese! I started a diet (Jenny Craig) and I lost 24 lbs already! Since then I sleep much better. I believe weight had a huge impact on my sleep patterns. Since I exercise everyday I sleep much better. Try eating better and exercising! Not only will the lbs shed like crazy but your sleep will improve!
GOOD LUCK!

well it might be cosidered slowing of the metabolism that makes you feel sleepy. and yes you would be considered obese. i am the same height but i weigh in at 212lbs i just started a diet today that seems to be working quite well i got up this morning and i did a 20 minute workout with denise austin (i got her dvd from kmart) and then i had a shake that is high in protein (which keeps you full) i bought the shake at kmart its called slim and trim its near the slim fast. now here at work i had some chicken salad and crackers and a banana for lunch and for dinner i will have a shake again..hope this helps

Yes I think it can. I used to be tired all the time, I mean for decades . When I started eating right & working out I started having lots of energy.
