Why do i need so much sleep?!?

Question

I sleep a full 12 hours, wake up and then an hour or two later i will want to go back to sleep or feel drained all day. I've felt like this for a week now, does anyone know what it could be?

Answer 1

You better go see a doctor most people only need 8 hours per night. Myself I usually sleep about 6.5-7.0 hours and i feel fine if i get that much.

Answer 2

There are so many things that cause people to become sleepy that guessing at a cause is like looking for a needle in a haystack without more information about your daily habits, diet, and other symptoms. You might be able to narrow down the possible causes by thinking about any other types of changes that may have also happened recently, and if this is something that you have experienced before.

If this is something that is not normal for you, and there is no apparent explanation, the most common causes are side effects from medications such as antihistamine, sleep disorder making your sleep ineffective, a viral infection such as mononucleosis or various types of herpetic infections (not the STD type of herpes), or depression. The viral infections usually are accompanied by other things such as a sore throat, cold sores, headaches, and swollen lymph nodes; while depression and sleep disorders may occur with no other symptoms.

Answer 3

You don't say how old you are...could you have mononucleosis? Are you always thirsty and having to use the bathroom to urinate? You might be diabetic. It's time to get these things checked out. The tests are very simple and you will be on the road to feeling normal again.

Answer 4

Once you sleep a lot.....u become lethargic...and want to be in bad for a long time...but later you feel bery heavy....Its like you have been preoccupied in that circle...better is get out of bed and do some activity to be active....or else you go crazy and lazy later......
