Are you certain you are sleeping WELL for the entire 8 hours?  Any nightmares/headaches, worying , snoring/gasping for air?  Do you get up often to go to the bathroom or because there is noise in your bedroom? [You could get ear plugs, or run a fan/humidifier, or get sound proofing cork - if you're in a loud area]\n\n\nOften people have poor sleeping habits and these can be easy to fix:  \n\nRemove distractions from bedroom [no:  TV bills books magazines]\nClear your thoughts of any worries before going to sleep\nDon't eat, exercise or worry 3 hours before sleep\nExercise more during the day & sleep earlier at night\nTake vitamins \nDrink lots of water [8-10, 8 oz glasses per day]\nCut back on caffeine\nEat & Sleep at regular times \n\nIf these don't help see a doctor.  \n\nYou could have anemia a vitamin deficiency or sleep apnea, among other possibilities.  \n\nhttp://www.lifetimetv.com/reallife/health/features/tired_allthetime.html\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_4548_wake-revived.html\nhttp://www.hipusa.com/eTools/webmd/A-Z_Encyclopedia/sleepdisordersbasics.htm\nhttp://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleeplibrary/index.php?secid=&id=51\nhttp://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/fatigueprimer\nhttp://www.newtechpub.com/phantom/faq/osa_faq.htm\nhttp://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsConditions/SleepApneacc.html

take a spoonful of liquid calcium with magnesium every night before bed. It will help you relax, you will sleep sound, and wake up refreshed.

A nice warm bath before bed. \n\nTry not to drink or eat a lot before going to bed so you don't need the  loo during the night.\n\nWhere possible, try to resolve problems (that you are able to) so that you don't have them to worry about, avoid putting them off til morning (like getting stuff prepared for the next morning).\n\nAlso, don't go to bed angry!!! It really makes it difficult to sleep.

You are over tired.If you don't have ample time to get a good nap i wouldn;t even bother.When you wake up you will feel just as tired.Try and get 8 hours of sleep daily.Eat right also.Try and get your sleep pattern in a routine.

Wake up because once you get your metabolism going it will work through-out the day. Make sure you eat breakfast.

Regular exercise helps.  I also really enjoy yoga.  It's good exercise, keeps you flexible, plus the meditative aspect can actually replace the need for as much sleep as usual.\n\nCaffeine is a quick fix to wake you up, but then your body needs more and more.  You might try some herbal teas with mint.  They're natural and non-addictive.  I always like a peppermint tea in the afternoons at work when I'm feeling sluggish.

I am a primary care psychologist who also interned in a sleep clinic.  Here are a few tips for good sleep hygeine that improve the quality of sleep and help people wake up feeling more rested.\n\nGet into a regular sleep schedule that you keep even on the weekends.  Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.\n\nDon't use the snooze button.  "Snoozing" is very poor quality sleep and only helps you feel more tired when you actually do get up.\n\nExercise is good-- not right before bed, but any other time of day works.\n\nLimit caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol as all interfere with sleep quality.  \n\nUse the bed only for sex and sleep.  No watching tv, no reading, no clipping your toenails :)  If you need some noise to help you sleep, use a fan or a white noise machine-- not the television.\n\nOne of the previous posters mentioned depression-- hypersomnia (sleeping too much) is a symptom of depression.   Here is an online depression screener that you might fill use: http://www.med.nyu.edu/psych/screens/depres.html

The Best Thing to do is take a VERY cold Shower.\nand NEVER take a hot shower.  It may feel good at the time, but you won't be able to get up in the morning.

I wish I knew the answer cause I have the same problem.  Somethings that have worked in the past for me is....\n\n1. Write down your "to do" list for the next day an hour before you plan on going to bed.\n2. Don't drink caffeine after 6pm.\n3. write in a journal your thoughts for the day ( but make sure it is half hour before you go to bed.)\n\nI've tried all and they do help.  I still have problems once in a while.\n\ngood luck and sweet dreams :)

Try these if you want to fall asleep faster:\n\n1.  Exercise\nMake sure you exercise enough and stay physically active.  If you don't move a muscle all day long, you have too much energy left at the end of your day.  Do some aerobic sports at least every other day, each lasting 30 minutes or more.\n\n2.  Stress management\nToo much stress obviously help create insomnia.  Make sure you are not annoyed by or concerned with anything when you are in bed.  Relax yourself before going to bed.  If necessary, some "soft" relaxing exercise helps. (or even moderate stretching will do)\n\n3. Hot drink other than coffee\nIf possible, take a cup of hot or warm drink like skimmed milk.  Avoid drinking coffee starting from six hours (or more) before you go to bed.\n\n4. Body temperature\nI advise taking a warm shower before going to bed.  When you're sleeping your body temperature drops a little bit.  So the shower help create that "drop" because after the shower your body is slightly "hotter".  Make sure you feel a comfortable temperature at where you sleep. Too cold: add a blanket; too warm: show your bare feet or even your lower legs.

gave yourself a pattern in sleeping- if you're usually asleep at 11 pm , then go try being awake after that. you're biological clock could be messed up-\nassociate sleeping by doing some patterns before you go to sleep- washing up- drinking milk- combing your hair .. do not do rigorous exercise before you go to sleep- do calming and soothing activities before the time you intend to sleep-\nand do not force yourself to sleep- all the more you can't sleep that way- let your body relax

I feel you on this one. Consistency is the key. You have to set your sleeping habits yourself. You should get use to going to sleep at around the same time everyday. Make sure it's enough time so that when you wake up, you  wake up naturally and feeling well rested. If that doesnt work count sheep.

Before going to bed try to remember something that motivates you to go to school.. like you are going to see this hot guy and you wanna get up earlier so you put your make up on and stuff, or play some nice music that you LOVE, set your alarm clock 20 min before you need to get up that way it gives you time to kinda relax and don't make you feel grumpy..

well you can try having a couple alarms going off at different times and a different locations around the room. When I am really worried about getting up on time I set my alarm clock for say 8am and set the alarm on my cell phone for 2 different times like 7:54 and 7:57 its crazy but it works lol most of all when I set the alarms on both my cell phones and have them repeat every 5 minutes.....\n\nor you can try drinking like 8 glasses of water before going to sleep, that for SURE gets you up....

Don't drink caffeine after 3:00 p.m.\nDon't excercise within 2 hours before going to bed.\nTake a warm bath about 45 min. before going to bed.\nKeep your bedroom at a comfortable temperature- esp. not too hot, around 72-74 degrees is good.\nNo light in room, not even a nightlight or light from alarm clock, esp. don't get up after dozing off and turn a light on, interferes with melatonin production and throws your body clock off.\nTry a sound machine or fan- something with a soothing "white noise" type of sound.\nEat a turkey sandwich or warm milk before going to bed, helps your body produce tryphtotonin and serotonin.\nTry Valerin root and 2mg.melatonin\nDo deep breathing and guided imagery meditation before bedtime.

i know it's lame, but try sleeping a little earlier. if you're not staying up for something important, sleeping earlier will help. make sure you're getting enough sleep for you. it's not necessarily 8 hours, but however long your body needs, that could be 6. you can feel tired if you get too much sleep. try waking up at the same time every morning to regulate you sleep cycle. make sure you're comfortable while you're sleeping. and try not drinking caffeine from late afternoon and at night so you don't have problems sleeping.
