Answer 1

Well first of all theres diffrent rems of sleep. If your body requires 10/12 hours a day then you probably are getting tired. Sometimes the medications you take will make you have to have alot of sleep. Sometimes insomnia will only last a few weeks, months or years. Try power napping for 20 mins. and see if that helps. Otherwise I would suggest getting a Physicans advise and see if you have a sleep disturbance disorder that your not aware of. Age, stressors, and activity seem to play a role. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

at least 8 is' normal'
the beauty sleep is from 8pm to 12 midnight, other wise our looks suffer
try olive leaf extract and avoid red meat
or try a homeopathic consultation
yeast bread is our looks, energy and mood greatest enemy, the olive leaf kills the yeast infection / fungus

Answer 3

Have you been checked for sleep apnea? It's when your throat closes and you can't breathe for moments during sleep. The early symptoms would be sleep that leaves you exhausted or unrefreshed. Get checked out.

Answer 4

could be lots of things like diet, stress/depression, lack of exercise. 8 is normal i'd say though.

Answer 5

hmmm....could be lots of things.....since I am "universal" in my beliefs...it COULD mean that you are being "drained" of your energy from other people??...I get that way sometimes.....
