If you aren't waking rested check your mattress and see if you need a new one. Also think about your diet. Cut back on processed foods and sugar, try eating more fresh foods, fruits and vegetables. That combined with regular exercise (about 30 minutes a day) will help you sleep better.

When are you sleeping? If you are sleeping during the day, you will not get as restful a sleep... we are designed so that each hour before midnight = 2 hours after midnight. The earlier you go to bed in the evening, the more quality, and restfulness, you will get.
Do you snore or mouth-breathe? You may not be getting the necessary oxygen to your brain and throughout your system as a result.... you may also be experiencing mini-waking periods (disturbances to your REM sleep) or sleep apnea. Obesity can contribute to this.
Maybe you are eating too much, or too heavy, late at night. Fast from supper onwards so your digestive system doesn't have to work so hard.
All the best!

Perhaps you are sleeping too much?
Everyone's bodies are different in the amount of sleep they require. Sometimes when I get only 4 hours of sleep when I am really tired, I fall into a deep sleep, and benefit the most.
Watch your caffeine intake at night. That can sometimes affect your sleep. Are you tired when you got to bed?
Good luck and I hope you can solve the dilemma.
Sweet dreams!

Go to your doc and ask for a sleep study, if you are sleeping 9+ hours on a regular basis and are still tired you most likely have a sleep problem such as sleep apnea. It can easily be corrected in most cases.

You might be anemic (low iron in the blood) or have something like fallen arches. I don't think it cost very much to check your blood and a chiropractor can help with the arches. Or you could just try getting more iron in your diet and see if it helps. Liquid chlorophyll is a great way to get some iron fast. That was what was wrong with me. Good luck!

if you usually get very little sleep and then you start catching up with nine hours or more a night, you will feel tired. but if you consistently get nine or more hours a night and you're still tired (and you're not a teenager), you should go see your dr about it- it may be mono or one of the many illnesses that are characterized by constant fatigue.

You're asleep but you're not fully sleeping.
Sometiems you're body is in an inbetween sleep where your eyes are shut and technically you're asleep but you're not in enough deep sleep for it to actually count.

You may have sleep apnea and not know it.
