i get at least 8 hours of sleep when i take sleeping aides. when i dont, i get between 3-5 hours or less. i won't be able to fall asleep, and i wake up every morning between 2:30-5:30 and cant go back to sleep til i have to get up (which is 6:30-7:00).
no matter how much sleep i get, with or without aides, i still feel beyond exahusted all the time. the long i sleep the more tired i am during the day.
i am 12 years old and have this problem. what could it be?

There are many possible reasons -it could be related to your depression, if you take meds, it could be a side effect, it could have to do with puberty-induced hormone changes, or it could be something else altogether.
The only thing to do is see a doctor - they have means of evaluating where your sleeping problems are coming from, and can advice you from there.
I hope you find a solution! :)

It could be dust mites, I saw on Medical Mystery show and dust mites caused her to feel so exausted even if she got 8 or more hours of sleep. Or it could be a medical problem, or even depression. So see a doctor, and tell your parents.

Hormones. underactive thyroid. depression. See a doctor!!! 12 is too young for these symptoms.
