I get about 8 hours sleep every night and don't wake up too often (occasional bathroom break, but thats about it), but I'll wake up still feeling sleepy.


Could I be geting too much sleep?

Any chance you are suffering from mild depression??As that is one of the symptoms??

Nope. Definately not depressed.
Have you been checked for M.E? Excessive tiredness is the main symptom.
Hi Atolhurst. I�m very much the same as you and always have been. I can have 8 hours sleep a night and STILL wake up tired. In fact, my alarm didn�t go off this morning and I woke up at 8am instead of 7am! My body clock doesn�t even work! At the weekend I can sleep for 10 hours easily. I just love my sleep and my bed. It�s the coziest place in the world. Do you think you could be the same? If you are convinced that it�s a medical issue then go see your doctor.

do you snore,perhaps you wake yourself up with loosing breath whilst sleeping....it may be called sleep apnia??


i may be wrong with the name but it is a problem for folks who think they have a full 8 hours but dont really!!

Everybody's different, some people need three hours sleep, some ten.


I personally need nine hours - its just the way my body works. If I don't set the alarm, I always wake up nine hours almost to the minute that I fall asleep. Even if I get the "normal" eight hours I tend to feel slightly sleepy during the day.


Unless its something thats just started happening, forget about it! Whats normal anyway?

Too much sleep = laziness= fatigue and inactivity = need for more sleep. Break the cycle by : getting up early= be more active= use more energy.
