Is it normal for me to be so tired during the day?

Question

like sometimes when i come home after school i always end up taking a nap for an hour or two..or sometimes three. On average i get about 7 or 8 hours of sleep..but im not even out of high school and idk if being this tired is normal?

Answer 1

It's quite hard work being young. If you feel pleasantly tired and enjoy the rest I would say (as a totally unqualified doctor) get on with it. If it's tiredness that doesn't go away after your nap there may be an underlying physical cause for concern.

Answer 2

I was the same way!! When I would get home from highschool I would have to take a 1-2 hour nap. I was still able to fall asleep by 10 or so at night and I was a straight A student.

Body and mind tired I guess. Just enjoy your rest, one day you won't get those naps!! :)

Answer 3

Hey. sometimes people are tired and short naps have recently been found out to be good for you. I would check over your diet make sure you are getting vitamins and nutrients and all, lack of them will make you sleepy. also keep with the 7/8 hours of sleep. aim for 8 hours of nice restful peaceful sleep.After you have looked at your diet and sleep patterns closely then I would maybe talk to your parents or physican and double check with them. Also if you get a lot of excercise or are active in a sport you will need more rest. and drink plenty of water.

Answer 4

very maybe because you havent gotten enough sleep in night keep a schedule keep it simple and have everything you need to do on this list and until your energy rises your extra time should be devoted to nice naps dont be ashamed because napping is for children napping is for everyone!
