Too Much Sleep?

[flump1]

So last night we went to bed as usual, about 11 ish and woke up just before non today feeling awful !! We both ache and have no energy, after 12 hours sleep ( yep sleep ) .
Can one actually have too much sleep ?

[woofgang]

I can't!

[ummmm]

Yes...too much sleep always makes me feel ill.

Has this happened to you often?

Sounds to me as if you have an infection putting you both 'under the weather'. If it is a one off then maybe no big deal, your bodies needed rest and got it, but I'd be wary if it continues to occur. I think I'd be checking no flue fumes keeping me drowsy, or something !

My problem is too little sleep. If I go to bed earlier my brain/body simply wakes me up far too early. It doesn't seem to get it that just because I'm older it doesn't mean I need less sleep, even if I have got used to being in a daze from lack of sleep most of the time.

No FGT, not happened before, we have both been getting up early and by of late. Neither one of us has good health so it may have just been our bodies way of slowing, but it has made us feel worse !

I can't have too much sleep, either! I expect you're just catching up from busy week and once your body has completely relaxed, it just doesn't want to start again.
of course, as og says, if you're a little off-colour, that could cause both, but i think we all feel like that sometimes

[flump1]

Ah woof, it is not nice ,
Ummmm, I haven't felt like this before !

OG thanks , will get him to check flues.

Hi Pixie, I have a headache that I can't get rid of, and we are both tired...!!

[pixie373]

Can you go for a short walk? Bit of fresh air does wonders x

[flump1]

will try that Pixie, anything to feel a bit better !
