Answer 1

Your getting roughly 14 hours of sleep a day and you still tired, sounds to me like you are getting to much sleep. You are supposed to get an average of 8 hours sleep a night, maybe try and cut back to getting only 8-9 hours asleep a night and see how you feel :)

Answer 2

If you are young and in generally good health working this schedule will not physically harm you for a short period of time (say less than 1 year.) However, from the length of time you are sleeping each day, you sound like you are experiencing depression and social isolation, neither of which is good for your health. Have you always required this much sleep, do you make time to see daylight every day?
Do you feed yourself properly and make time for exercise and friends?
Since it seems clear that you are not doing these things you should start looking for another job with "normal" hours and start a routine for your health.
Eat right.
Make time for exercise (3-4 days a week look up your target heart rate.)
Go to sleep at the same time every night.
get up and the same time every day.
Have friends and a social life.

Good Luck.

Answer 3

If you are tired try eating healthier, exercising, and taking vitamins. Definitely be sure to get close to 8 hours a night (day) of sleep. Remember there are tons of people in this world who work and live opposite lives from the so-called norm...nurses, doctors, restaurant employees, pilots, flight attendants......

Answer 4

Answer 5

Aside from impringing into your social life if any; you are just going thru life in a robot-like fashion. Work and sleep. Lack of sleep would give you daytime fatigue. However, too much sleep would also have the same effect.


Many times, we compensate for a lack of sleep at night by taking naps after (and sometimes during) our classes. This behavior might be recognized as "normal" by many teenagers and young people. However, many college-aged people suffer from sleep disorders. The most commonly recognized among these is insomnia, or the inability to obtain an adequate amount of sleep. But often overlooked and potentially harmful is hypersomnia. Although we rarely identify it as a negative condition, many of us actually get too much sleep.


Hypersomnia is defined as excessive daytime sleepiness and/or nighttime sleep. Humans sleep for an average of eight hours a night. Those with hypersomnia may find themselves sleeping for over ten hours at a time. The most common symptoms are napping at inappropriate times, difficulty waking up, anxiety, irritability, restlessness and fatigue.


Some more serious symptoms may include hallucination, loss of appetite, memory loss, or the inability to hear, see, taste, or smell things accurately. The disorder can have a profound effect on one's ability to cope in social situations. There is a range of possible causes for the condition, but the primary cause is described as abnormalities that occur during sleep such as Obstructive sleep apnea; restless leg syndrome; or abnormalities of specific sleep functions. such as narcolepsy.


What is more, many do not realize what detrimental implications getting too much sleep can have for one's life. Primarily, hypersomnia seriously interferes with a normal schedule. One might miss large amounts of work, school, or other important activities. Secondly, many of the side effects of hypersomnia such as decreased concentration, anxiety, and memory loss all contribute to a diminished work or academic performance. Treatments for those diagnosed for hypersomnia may include the prescription of stimulant or antidepressant medications. Also, it is advised to maintain a regular bedtime/waking time, and to avoid intake of alcohol and caffeine.


Where can we draw the line and say that someone is getting too much sleep, when everyone's' bodies are different and require different amounts? We can point out specific things that people do in their sleep that might be considered alert signs: screaming, acting out dreams, convulsions and jerks. However, most people experience all of these symptoms from time to time, so it is difficult to say where normal sleeping behavior ends and a disorder begins. It seems that perhaps we could say that one has a disorder when his or her sleep begins to interfere with everyday waking life.


Too much sleep or hypersomnias make one at risks for obesity, strokes, diabetes and coronary artery disease from lack of exercise; and depression. from social isolation. and poor mental health. It can shorten your lifespan. Remember, it's also impt to consider quality not just quantity of sleep. Do you feel refreshed and well rested? Are you happy? Too much time in bed promotes sleep fragmentation; nervousness; anxiety and irritability; poor concentration and fatigue.

There might be other causes for you hypersomnia. Stay away from too much processed foods and sugars.
