You did not go into a DEEP trance sleep like you do at night. This happens to me I am better off not napping. Try taking a good multivitamin. And at night take 5-htp, it's a natural sleep remedie to help with melatonin which may be low.

WHEN I GET THAT, I MAKE SURE I SLEEP EXTRA LONG THE DAY IT STARTS TO HAPPEN.I JUST SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHING. TEA OR SOUP FOR SOME STRANGE REASON TENDS TO HELP. THE NEXT DAY ALL IS BACK TO NORMAL. ITS REALLY WEIRD BUT REST IS THE BEST THING. FOR ME I WILL ALSO TAKE A NASEL SPRAY TO DRY OUT MY THROAT BECAUSE WHEN STUFF DRAINS DOWN MY THROAT. THATS WHEN I FEEL AT MY WORST

There could be a number of reasons your tired. You might not be getting good sleep. You could have sleep apnea, which means for a few seconds each night you actualy stop breathing. it could be that your stressed. And it also could be your diet. \n\nTry medatating, stretching/yoga, and or writing in a journal before you go to sleep to clear your mind. Also, try to avoid caffine and sugar at least 3 hours before you go to bed, and make sure your room is dark and quiet. But don't make it too quiet. Getting a "soothing" sounds tape might help.\n\nIf the problem lasts more then a few weeks i'd talk to my dr. Though I doubt its anything serious, the possibilty is always there. And even if its not something serious it could be something that needs medical attention (ex. stress) and your dr can help you pinpoint the reason, and get rid of it so you can start getting the rest you deserve

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 ????

You should be tested for thyroidism.  If being sluggish hasn't always been a problem for you, it could be your thyroid, especially if B12 and getting enough sleep doesn't remedy it.  Try this website to see if you have any  other symptoms: http://thyroid.about.com/od/takeathyroidquiz/index.htm

i think its because were on another level of consciousness when we are sleeping so it gets foggy to us when we wake up. one trick i have read is to write down the details of your dreams in a notebook or journal first thing when you wake up because thats when its fresh in your mind.

I have that problem too. I'd like to know why I feel dizzy in the mornings and then really alert at night. All this while I just take it that I'm just not a morning person but thats not enough.\n\nCome to think of it, I attribute my alertness at night to drinking tea or coffee. And because we end up sleeping late, so we get sleepy in the morning.

lack of oxygen in the brain. it's a signal that you're mind and body are tired and you need to sleep to recharge.

you aren't getting the nutrition you need. Start off with a big breakfast and some exercise, and you will feel better throughout the day. Or maybe you are not getting enough sleep at night. It could be many different things. Take a look at you habits lately, and see what the problem might be. I don't know you and your life so it is hard to say...

If you're really tired the next morning, that probably means you're not getting past that "dozing off" stage into the "deep sleep" stage where most of your mind's rejuvenating takes place.  If you're really hot, that's scary.  If this just started happening, maybe you just have a fever or something, but if it's been happening for a long time, you should see someone about it.

Well i work for a company who specializes in people who have Sleep Apnea. Some of the symptoms are not being able to breath at night. All of our patient state that they stop breathing. They experience Daytime Sleepiness. Feel tired and sleepy all the time. Patient with Sleep Apnea experience difficult concentrating,overweight,heavy snoring,gasping for air. Also waking up tired. Some even fall asleep while they are driving. You should really see a Dr for this. This is very serious you need to take care of it. Their is a machine that helps you it is called a Cpap machine. Your Dr should help you with having them do a payment plan. He will probably send you to do a Sleep Study test. They do two studies, one called a Cpap titration and a polysomnography. The first night they will put you on a Cpap machine and then the next night you will be off of it. That way they can determine how bad your Sleep Apnea is.

It could be Mononeucleousis = Glandular Fever\nIt could be Depression\nIt could be Chronic Fatigue Syndrome\nIt could be due to early pregrancy\n\nEither way it doesn't simply sound like you're feeling just a bit tired, it seems your energy levels and completely rock bottom even if you sleep well (oh boy afraid to say can I relate to this)...\n\n...the reasons could be several.  If due to your new medication; maybe it's a permanent side effect of them but as you are quite new to them then maybe it's just the adjusting time?  Hopefully it's that because if it is it will soon balance itself out.  Most medications make us feel tired first (antibiotics for example; when I have to take them I feel worse in first few days and completely exhausted but that's always the case, body just needs to adjust).\n\nEither way - DO talk to your Doctor about it and seek advice; help and support - as it's not easy being exhausted all of the time, it affects your quality of life in general.\n\nGood luck\n\n:-)\n\nHannah

It because of the hormone Melatonin. It is produced in the Pineal gland up in the brain, and makes us sleepy.

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?
