i'm not an expert but i notice if i don't have a somewhat physically demanding day, or if i skip a workout session i tend to feel tired also.The best solution i've come up with is to walk at a good pace for 30-45min.It seems to raise my energy levels and also helps me get quality sleep time.Hope this helps.

How do you define too much sleep? Every person has a different need of how much sleep is necessary to feel comfortable. Although there are average figures available, they are only a guideline but not binding.\nI recently saw a conversation on TV where a guy was talking about common prejudices in medicine. One of them was the amount of sleep. He said they found a significant connection between long sleeping hours and various diseases. However, it was the chicken and egg question. Meaning: do people sleep a lot and become sick because of that or do sick people need more sleep?

The world moves fast. I don't sleep myself. Try reading. Worse case there is always sleep meds. Sexxx also can work...

me, too. It has been going on for a while now. I actually fall asleep at work sometimes, or am close to being in physical pain trying not to.\n\nI asked for help on here too, and got lots of good advice--the best I thought was that I should get more exercise. I bet that really would help. Only problem is==>too tired to start. When I get home all I want to do is crash.\n\nI have been thinking about going to the doc to rule out anything like diabetes, or thyroid probs, or hormones, or God forbid, cancer, lupus, etc. There are SO many physical causes for tiredness including depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies, and so on.  So I guess we need to see first if we are otherwise healthy, and then see if we can find an exercise partner to make us shake a leg. I hear that once you really get into an exercise routine, the tired feeling goes away.\n\nI am willing to try if you are.

if it is chronic and not just a lack of sleep one night, you should see a doctor.  It can be thyroid levels, chronic fatigue, depression, or a number of other reasons for it.  It is possible that some medication will make life much better for  you.\nNoone here is qualified to give an answer without knowing your conditions.  See a doctor if it is ongoing.\nGood luck, and good night :)

Body need 7-9 hours on average -- If you are getting less then that once in a while that will not hurt you. But the sleep you do get is it consistent - if you wake up a lot during rest then there might be a problem

I just finished my 2nd semester of law school, and I am also sleeping in that much since last week. I assume that it is our body telling us that it is catching up on the sleep that we deprived it of for so many months. There has been research done on that; they refer to it as a sleep bank. So, as long as you are not emotionally unstable, there is nothing wrong with relaxing your body and busy mind with sleep. As you know, once school kicks in again, we will be sleep deprived again. Enjoy! :o)

You forgot 'wealthy' and if Ben Franklin said it, it must be true! LOL.\n\nFor myself, I can never get enough sleep, I can't get up early, and so that must be why I only got two out of three of them. I'm not wealthy, but healthy--pretty much, and wise? Well, what's your opinion on that? How's this answer, ha ha!

To be honest, I think it is just what you suspected : While you may have felt that you never slept......you really did drop off a few times each evening.\n\n  If you do any reading on this subject, it's pretty clear that the brain needs sleep, or the person really does start exibiting some fairly serious symptoms. \n\n   Not just being tired, but....things like rather major delusions and hallucinations of fairly spooky proportions.\n\n  So.....if you actually spent some time in bed.....my guess is that you did get sleep, even if it may have not seemed like it at the time.\n\n  Bob J.

You haven't used up your energy for the day, therefore you aren't tired.  If you go and work hard, you have no energy left, so it's really easy to fall asleep.\n\nHow did this get a thumbs down?

I was always tired and could not figure out why and then was sent for a sleep study and found I had sleep apnea.  When they finally put the mask on me and I went to sleep, something I thought I was doing at home, I slept better than I had in years and that couple of hours on that machine was fantastic.  I could not believe the difference.  Then it was explained to me what was happening.  I was not conscious of it but was waking many times every hour so did not get the deep sleep I needed, thus I was always worn out.  When I got my machine, I slept like a baby and was not so tired any more.  I found that those that have apnea can have more chance of heart attack, stroke, and all sorts of nasty things that can cause you to die as you are not breathing as you should, nor are you getting the rest you need so eventually it can kill.  So are they worth it?  You bet!!!  The machines are very expensive but well worth having.  I have had one for over ten years now and sleep very well where before I got it was worn out all the time.  What is a good nights sleep and good health worth to you?  If I had it to do over again I would do it earlier so I think it is very worthwhile doing the study.  Good luck.  Sweet dreams!!!

You should change your normal daily habits. When you sleep to much your body gets used to that and makes you constantly tired. It can also lead to being over weight. I would recomend that you try waking up early and going to bed at like 10pm. Also eat like 3 meals at a set time everyday and do a little excercise. After a week or two you'll feel better and if not my bad

hey i do that too! apparently its bad for your body because one continous sleep in a dark place is better to rest or vital organs blah blah blah. if you sleep at noon, more than 8 hours, im sure its ok though. as for health. aside from health, it totally affects like meeting people and getting phone calls etc. but you're only concerned about the physical body part of it right? im sure u alrady know its not a really good idea, though unevitable

This is a serious answer.   Stop trying to get sleep.  If you can't sleep for whatever reason, then don't try.  I used to have insomnia, and when I realized I really could not get any sleep, I stopped trying to get sleep.  I got up, watched tv, read a book, did light house work.  And then after a few days, BAM! I was like a zombie.  I couldn't wait to hit the bed!  Sleep is a natural process that the body needs to regenerate and rest.  It is usually something on the mind, or a chemical imbalance of some sort that keeps us awake. \n\n If restlessness lasts for more than a few days, then see a doctor. But first, try depriving yourself of sleep.  If your body doesn't "kick back" from loss of sleep, then something is seriously wrong.

I worked all night last night and slept at like 5am, and lo and behold, here I am at the crack of dawn after like 6-7 hours of sleep, while my boyfriend who did not work last night...could probably sleep until 2-3pm....if I let him..\n\nI would call it laziness, lack of motivation to do something in life, or depression (has been linked with oversleeping)

I also used to dream a lot, its all because i think too much. So i will no sleep if i dont feel like to, trying to make myself tired(watch tv, play games etc) then go to bed. So that i got no time to think about other stuff.

Of course, not. Sleep dep. will catch up with you. You could end up with chronic fatigue like I did. Please get your sleep.
