im 24 and i can sleep the whole day and still feeling really tired. Nothing seem to work on me like caffeine. Is it normal or not for me to sleep like that or if i might have a problem with my body? I cant keep my head focus in school because all I think about is going to sleep or skip a class just sleep in the library. Any suggestion would be helpful.

I'm not on any drugs or anything like that.

Well first of all, how long has this been going on, and do you feel bad in any other ways (physically or emotionally)?? Depression can definately cause sleepiness or especially the desire to sleep all day. But along with some of the more serious causes people mentioned already, it could be something common for your age like mono, which i'm sure you heard of, and the main symptom is sleeping alot and being super- tired, and that can last for weeks or more. But you need to go to the doctor for that too, just takes a blood test to diagnose mono. In any case, be smart and get checked out by the doc.

First get checked out for any possible physical causes such as anemia. If nothing like that is found, then consider possibly something like chronic fatigue syndrome. Depression will cause you to sleep, but the way you describe it doesn't sound to me like the kind of sleeping depressed people do.
I have CFS and could drink a whole pot of coffee and still fall asleep. I fell asleep eating, and even standing up! I am now on a medication called Provigil. The stuff is like a miracle for me.
But it is important to find the real REASON you are so sleepy before taking any medications.

You should see a physician and try to get diagnosed. Maybe you are ill with parasites or something that needs attention. Falling alseep is not good - suppose you were driving? You could kill someone!!
Sleep is the necessary thing to get rested for another day, but too much means something is wrong with the systems in your body. Glad you asked for help, but we can only suggest things and I suggest seeing the people in the college/univeristy clinic.

Go to the doctor, get your iron tested, your thyroid tested, and talk about possible depression, those are the three biggies for this.
Also are you on any medications that could make you sleepy?
