It depends on your daily activity.\nSince I haven't been exercising lately, instead of sleeping 8 hours and feeling refreshed, I've been sleeping 14. Not normal of course.\n\nJust do something all day and set yourself up for what time you go to sleep. Normally go to sleep at 10 and wake up at 6 A.M.\nMost people do that, if they have jobs.\n\nMight wanna go get some exercise and go to the doctor.

Exercise.  I sleep much better when I work out on a regular basis.  Also, try not to consume caffeine after 5PM.

sounds like depression but you are human so you will different every day you wake up.  trying running or doing something that will get your heart rate running.  i know people that work-out generally feel better about themselves and life in general on a more consistant basis than someone who doesnt.  or it depends on the person and may be even be all you in your head...hope that helps

There is such a thing as too much sleep.  Your body is remarkably good at self-regulating most of the time, but some times your "sleep barometer" gets thrown off for any number of reasons -- like cold/flu, minor depression, drinking too much alcohol, use of prescription/illegal drugs, the list goes on and on.  Best thing to do is to try and listen to your body.  If your body is telling you that you've had enough rest, then drag yourself out of bed (even if it feels like you're getting up too early).  If you're not feeling well or if you're just plain worn out for whatever reason, stay in bed and don't try to do too much or you'll get sicker or even more worn out.  Might take a little while, but you'll get used to listening to your body soon enough.

It could be due to your lifestyle.. i used to have the same problem. I went to the doctors and he just suggested exercise daily, eat healthier and try and cut out refined sugars. I got real good sleeps and woke up feeling awesome :)

Because you probably have a messed up sleeping schedule like me. You go to sleep late, wake up super early then take a nap somewhere in between which starts the cycle all over the next day.<yawn> <<<Did that help?

Yeah, you didn't cool down properly. Drink plenty of water, don't stop moving right after the exercise (as in, don't go to sleep), and make sure you're getting enough electrolytes, vitamins and protein.

It could be that your getting to much sleep or that you are worried about something.  If you worry or think to hard sometimes it makes you tired.

Don't over excercise, you'll wear yourself out-\ntry changing it up- go swimming or just walk or if you have some friends that like to excercise ask them to join you or a parent- it can be good bonding time- if you are part of a gym- try some yoga, it's toning and strengthening.\nIf you are still tired, see if maybe certain foods are getting to you, sugary foods and bread can make your system go into a slump making you too tired- try more fruit or vegetables.  If your mom can ask her to get you some Iron - like geritol- personally I take HemaPlex that I get from a natural store- it has alot of other useful vitamins in it.  Also try to have more protein- if you are a vegetarian then have the tofu ...  If you go to the library you can ask the librarian where to find the health books, you can read all about Omega acids and stuff like that that can be useful to you and your family...  Also, sometimes when your tired you just need a quick small walk.\n\nSince you say you are very tired I also urge you to watch out what tim of day you exercise, if it's the middle of the day in very hot weather the sun could just be too much for your body.\n\nDrink plenty of water, sometimes tiredness can stem from not enough water inthe body.  Don't have soda or coffee, the caffiene in those will make you more dehydrated.  Plus thing containing CornSyrup are not really made for the body to break down.  Stay away from diet/fatfree or fake sugar stuff- those are full of harmful chemicals that can also wreak havoc on your body  no matter your age!\n\nTeas like White tea or Green tea can help you with energy as well.  \n\nTry going to bed at a regular time and waking up at a regular time.  "Every half an hour before midnight is more important than any hour after midnight".  Trust me.  But also because there are scientific reasons for it.  The human body actually "repairs" itself at night- I think PBS or anyother medical/health journal at the library or on the net can help you read more about that.  I believe they said your blood and cells are "cleansed" at these crucial hours, especially since you are still young.\n\nLimit the time you spend on the computer to an hour.  Your brain needs real nourishment not just entertainment.\n\nAlso- a book called "eat right for your type" if you know your blood type can point you in the direction of some healthy food for you- if you are eating the right foods then you will notice that your body will not be as tired either.\n\nTalk to your parents.  If this tiredness persists you may want to see a doctor.\nNotice the food you are or have been eating when you feel tired- and let your doctor know about it.\n\nAlso if you must sleep during the day limit it to 20-30 minutes any more than that and it will be harder to sleep at a decent hour at night.\n\nI do wish you the best of luck in this,  sorry I wrote soooo much.

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

Welll, it could be many reasons.\n\n1)  Do you get enough iron?  Anemia will make you really tired.  Try taking a vitamin with iron in it like One-a-Day for women, etc.\n2)  Meds may do it.  Many meds for depression and anxiety can cause daytime sleepiness.  This is a side-effect for most drugs.  Try taking your medicine at different time during the day or night.  (ie take them earlier at night so that the worst effects wear off by morning)\n3) Depression will make you tired.  BUT, do you also have negative thoughts, uninterested in other things, and the other symptoms of depression.  Only your doctor can diagnose depression.  Sleepiness does not necessarily mean you are depressed\n4) Do you have things in your life you like to do?  If you are lazy, find something.  Join a club or volunteer.  \n5)  If you are not getting any better, see a doctor, you could have chronic fatigue syndrome or anemia, or ????

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 :)

They say it's better to exercise in the morning ...simply because it does give you a boost of energy...and that's harder to deal with at night when you're trying to go to bed.\n\nI used to go to the gym at night and I'd have a hard time winding down afterward...but every body's different.\n\nFrankly...whether you're exercising morning noon or night...your already a step ahead of over half the population...so do it when you want to..but just keep doing it.

try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day. your body gets use to this and its easier to sleep. also, exercise helps. Preferably cardio exercise. Helps you to relax at night. If you usually go to the gym in the early afternoon or morning. Try going later...closer to bedtime.

If you are trying to sleep at night and not in the day, I would say no.  You are not sleeping deeply enough at night.  You may have sleep apnea, urinary problems, or something else medically wrong. \nThe best thing to do is make a chart noting the hours you sleep, at night, what woke you up, and why if you know.\nThen take this list to your doctor and see if he can recommend a good sleep therapist.\nworth a try.\nHope
