I recently found out that whenever I sleep too much, I'd wake up and feel even more tired than when I sleep very little. Is there a scientific explaination for that?

Yes, it can cause fatigue. Lately I have been getting more sleep and now I feel more tired. I also heard you should get out of bed when you first wake up. You shouldn't lay there.

yes it can cause i used to think i needed lots of sleep to stay active in my lifestyle, but i didn't. i really only needed like 5 at the most. i would used to sleep like 8 or more hrs and wake up still be sleepy. you may need to get checked out by a dr. cause you may have sleep apenia. i know lots of people that have it they sleep and wake up still tired. what happens is that they stop breating in there sleep and that does the problem. here is link to read about it and hope it help good luck and be careful.
Sleep apnea is a common disorder that can be very serious. In sleep apnea, your breathing stops or gets very shallow while you are sleeping. Each pause in breathing typically lasts 10 to 20 seconds or more. These pauses can occur 20 to 30 times or more an hour.
The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea. During sleep, enough air cannot flow into your lungs through your mouth and nose even though you try to breathe. When this happens, the amount of oxygen in your blood may drop. Normal breaths then start again with a loud snort or choking sound.
When your sleep is upset throughout the night, you can be very sleepy during the day. With sleep apnea, your sleep is not restful because:
* These brief episodes of increased airway resistance (and breathing pauses) occur many times.
* You may have many brief drops in the oxygen levels in your blood.
* You move out of deep sleep and into light sleep several times during the night, resulting in poor sleep quality.
People with sleep apnea often have loud snoring. However, not everyone who snores has sleep apnea. Some people with sleep apnea don’t know they snore.
* Sleep apnea happens more often in people who are overweight, but even thin people can have it.
* Most people don’t know they have sleep apnea. They don’t know that they are having problems breathing while they are sleeping.
* A family member and/or bed partner may notice the signs of sleep apnea first.
Untreated sleep apnea can increase the chance of having high blood pressure and even a heart attack or stroke. Untreated sleep apnea can also increase the risk of diabetes and the risk for work-related accidents and driving accidents.

I think it'd be because of increased lethargy.
Also, if you go for longer periods of time without eating, then that's an obvious reason for lower amounts of energy.
