It sounds like you might not be getting quality sleep...see below....\n\nAccording to a poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, adults in America average 6.9 hours of sleep each night, which is slightly less than the recommended range of 7-9 hours. Sleeping gives the mind and body an opportunity to work. During sleep, the body does repair work by replacing old cells with new ones and re-energizing the organs and muscles. Also during sleep the brain is busy sorting through all the events of the day and storing the day’s learning into memory. \n\nThe quality and quantity of the sleep you get will determine how productive the next day will be. Here are some tips to help you get the sleep you need and deserve.\n\nEstablish and maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule, including weekends. \nDevelop a regular bedtime routine that is relaxing. Examples include soaking a hot bath or reading a good book. \nCreate a sleep inviting environment that is dark, quiet, comfortable, and cool. \nMake sure you have a comfortable mattress and pillows. \nUse your bedroom only for sleeping and relaxing. It is not wise to take work materials and computers into your sleeping environment. \nEat the last meal of your day at least two to three hours before bedtime. \nComplete your exercise routines at least a few hours before bedtime. \nAvoid caffeine close to bedtime as it may keep you awake. \nThe amount of sleep each person requires varies from individual to individual. When you get the right amount of sleep, you should not feel sleepy the next day. If sleepiness is creating problems in daily activities, you probably need more sleep. \n\nAccording to the National Sleep Foundation, the amount of sleep recommended, according to age, is as follows:\n\nInfants/Babies (including naps) \n0-2 months: 10.5-18.5 hours \n2-12 months: 14-15 hours \nToddlers/Children (including naps) 12-18 months: 13-15 hours \n18 months to 3 years: 12-14 hours \n3-5 years: 11-13 hours \n5-12 years: 9-11 hours \nAdolescents 8.5 -9.5 hours \nAdults/Older Persons On Average 7-9 hours \nSleep is as important to our health and well-being as air, food, and water. You may need to seek to advise of your doctor, if problems getting quality sleep last for more than a week and become bothersome or if sleepiness interferes with the way you feel or function during the day. \n\nDon’t deprive yourself of the precious sleep your body needs to stay healthy. Remember, when you get the right amount of quality sleep, you’ll wake up feeling fresh, alert, and ready to face your day.\n\nSource: The National Sleep Institute

It partly depends on what time you go to sleep. If you are already getting 8 hours of sleep a night then by all means wake up earlier and get some exercise. You will find after a short time you will have more energy thoughout the day and will probably be less tired at the end of your work day. Newer more comprehensive studies have shown that you shouldn't really get more than 7 1/2 hours of sleep anyways. 8 hours of sleep is excessive and can actually shorten your life. If you're only sleeping 6 to 7 hours a night then definately don't skip sleep to exercise you'll wear yourself out and possibly injur yourself after a while.

Absolutely nothing is wrong with you. According to some generally accepted researches, there are two types of people concerning the day rhythm: "owls" and "skylarks". The first ones are more active in the evening, even during the night. They wake up mostly late, but as the day passes off, they become more and more active. The second ones wake up very early, the most active part of their day is morning, until the afternoon and as evening comes they become more and more tired and go to bed earlier. \n\nHowever, it can be connected with some other factors like low blood pressure, anemia, stress, insufficiency of some vitamins and minerals. There is also the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, especially if you don't feel good during the day light. You maybe spend too much time at the computer screen or are just exhausted after some long stressful period.  \n\nYoung people and teenagers are more likely to be the type of "owl" and it changes, as they are getting older. People like artists or writers mostly belong to your group, while managers or doctors for example are more likely to be the "skylarks".

I usually go to bed around 23:00 when I start work at 09:00, and 22:00 when I start at 08:00. I'm up whenever my body says it's enough or if I can't sleep anymore. Strange, I hardly ever need my alarm clock anymore.

Your question is how come it is hard to go to sleep and stay asleep? You then state that you go to bed at 11pm. and have to wake up at 8am. I'm not quite sure what you are exactly asking?! If you mean You try to go to bed at 11pm, but you are still unable to fall asleep til' later. And you are waking up all night, so it is hard for you to stay awake after 8am. You may want to try what my Psychiatrist told me to do. That is Stay awake until you are real tired. Meaning; Stay out of the bed, do things around the house, read a book, or watch the television. When you get real tired force your self to stay up for about thirty more minutes then lye down to go to sleep. If you wake up in the middle of the night get out of the bed, don't look at the clock and walk around or watch the television until you are tired again. When it is time for you to get up get right up, don't lye in the bed for ten more minutes or so. Get Right Up! Make your bed and do not go to your room until it is time. Do not take any naps during the day. This doesn't mean that it will completely cure it, but it does work! You will find that every so often you will still have problem come back, but you just do the routine and you stick with it! You will never have a problem with gettong up on time though. I can tell you that!!

I think you're getting UP too late.  \n\nIf you need 6 hrs. sleep, you're body won't start thinking about sleep until 18 hrs. after you last woke up (8:30AM).  Try getting up at a more normal time...say 6 or 6:30AM.  You could use the extra AM time to exercise (good for the body) or answer a few YA questions (good for the mind) or prepare for your workday (good for the career).\n\nI guarantee you that after a few days of this forced regimen you'll be ready for sleep by 11PM or so.

The guidelines on how much sleep people need are just that - guidelines. They are not one-size fits all, and different people need different amounts of sleep. If you are in good health and don't feel tired, then consider yourself lucky to need so little sleep. I seem to need around 8-10 hrs, which is a total drag and dosen't fit into my schedule at all - I wish I had your "problem" :).

Hi,\n\nYour body is probably not having enough energy.. and that is why you start to feel tired starting from the afternoon onwards.\n\nYou might want to try to do a detox. A friend of mine with the same problem of feeling really tired after lunch did a detox and found that he could now last till end of the day and even have the energy to wake at 6am to jog or take a walk.\n\nIn addition, the detox also helped him lose some extra fats.\n\nI myself lost like 15kg within 2 months and never felt better ;)\nYou can see my pics here:\nhttp://dreamsincredibles.blogspot.com/2005/10/angel-is-most-beautiful-mum-to-be-2005.html\n\nIf you are interested to find out more, you can email me at verityy@yahoo.com

I wake up at 6am everyday, and I usually wake up before my alarm goes off because I hate the sound of it. Some days I'm more awake than others, so on those days I just take it slower than normal.

if you go sleep at 9 pm, and wake up at 6 am, you are getting 9 hours of sleep, which is plenty. If you are still feeling tired, think about why. Are you eating healthy food? enough iron? enough excercise?

Many people would reply by saying a minimum of eight hours of rest. But the answer doesn't depend solely on how many hours you log in bed. Night after night, you need deep uninterrupted sleep in a bed that provides adequate comfort support and space. What matters most of all is how you feel in the morning. If you wake up full of renewed energy, you've had a good night's sleep. \n\nThere is no one formula for how much sleep is enough for you. Expecting all people to need the same amount of rest would be as absurd as expecting them to eat the same amount of food every day. Each of us seems to have an innate sleep "appetite" that is as much a part of our genetic programming as hair color, height and skin tone. Normal sleep times range from five to ten hours; the average is 7 1/2. About one or two people in one hundred can get by with just five hours; another small minority needs twice that amount. \n\nHow much sleep is enough for you? To figure out your sleep needs, keep your wake-up time the same every morning and vary your bedtimes. Are you groggy after six hours of shut-eye? Does an extra hour give your more stamina? What about an extra two hours? Since too much time in bed can make some people feel sluggish, don't assume that more is always better. Listen to your body's signals and adjust your sleep schedule to suit them. \n\nKeep in mind that sleep needs change with age. And the older you are, the less total sleep time you may need. A newborn may spend 18 hours asleep. From infancy to adulthood, sleep decreases by more than half. Throughout the middle decades of life, seven or eight hours of sleep generally are needed to provide adequate rest. For older individuals, six hours may suffice.

Because having 13 hours of alseep, can be worse than having 7, depending on your age, you should hit exactly the amount of sleep you need, and you will wake up just fine, like one time i fell alseep at 3 o clock in the afternoon, woke up at about 11:30, and i was wide awake, becuase I convieniently hit the time to wake up, but then i fell back asleep to about 7, and i felt horrible, like I stayed up 10 days in a row, so try to time your sleep perfectly there is an algebraic question somewhere on the internet, but if your young, about 9 hours. if your a bit older 8, and if your very old, about 6 and a half, try to find it its like S=a*2.6937 dont ask, but its sometheing very simaler to that, i couldnt find it :&#92;

The most anyone can sleep is most definitely NOT 8hrs. I have had friends who slept for 24hrs straight. It all depends on how much of a "sleep deficit" you have. \nYour body needs a certain amount of sleep, and that differs for everyone. However, it is recommended that we get around 8hrs per night if we are to function at our best. \nSleep is important for many reasons - helps with "solidifying" your experiences and memories that you have from the previous day, recharges you with energy - I think it's pretty obvious. \nAbout the day vs night sleep? It is best to sleep during the dark hours because the production of MELATONIN - a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles - varies with exposure to light. \nI also happen to be "nocturnal", but this is causing me a lot of problems. I cannot imagine how it would feel like to wake up feeling refreshed before 11am!
