14 hours sleep?

[alperchino]

Is it right that I am having 14 hours sleep a day? And if I try and get up before just don't feel right nearly falling asleep constantly yawning and falling out with even my own shadow.. Might be one for you this sqad, anyone's help appreciated cheers guys

If you can rule out drink, drugs, and unemployment, i'd suggest going to your GP. 14 hours sleep every night is excessive - missing out on that extra 6hrs a day waking time is a crime! I used to keep strange hours myself, but now that I've remedied, that...things are a bit easier!

Try getting more exercise during the day....you might be more tired but sleep deeper and need less overall

The first thing that comes to mind is to go to your GP to rule out an under active thyroid........simple blood test.

Have you had a period of stress in your life? I lost my DH after a long and unpleasant illness and after the first few days I was sleeping 14 to 16 hours at a stretch. This has gradually resolved over 6 months or so although i still do it occasionally.

Do you snore? Sleep apnoea is a possibility - there are support groups and treatment.

I am employed just strange hours to work, and yeah it may be stress the lady doesn't ever give it a rest about our past and that stresses me out beyond belief, cheers guys off to gp I think

Try asking your Gp about Vitamin B12 injections. I have one about every three months and they perk me up no end.
