It could be a poor diet, it could be a sign of disease... dehydration can make you feel sleepy, so drink at least one glass of water every hour...even if you don't feel thirsty, depression can also make a person feel sleepy. Or perhaps the person has lots of stress and worries and isn't really sleeping deeply. Exercise can really help you sleep well...I would suggest seeing a doctor first just to rule out any problems.. night ,night, sleep tight x

Seriously, you could try having LESS sleep. Not many folks really require more than 8 hours a night on a regular basis once they are adults and before they hit old age. If I take more than that, I always get a headache.\n\nHowever, chronic fatigue can be caused by any number of things. An obvious cause could be an underactive Thyroid gland, for which there is a simple test which your doctor can arrange.

The same used to happen to me, anytime during the afternoon, I'd want to sleep right at my workstation at work but on visiting the doctor, I found out I was anaemic and started to take iron tablets.  \n\nI feel much better now but on the odd day, I still get the tired feeling.  I put it down to having to work too much lol  \n\nSeriously though, pay your doc a visit.

I guess it's because of your bioclock. You're just used to sleeping in. You will feel drowsy only for a few days once you start getting up early. After that, it'll become routine.

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

more than likely its sleep apnea... go see a sleep disorder specialist.. they really help.. and this is from experience because I actually never hit level 4 ROM sleep (deep sleep) and I am always exhausted.... GL and go to the doctor...

Yup - sounds like lack of sleep to me... I used to have two jobs at opposite schedules, so I had to sleep in four hour shifts. After three months of that, I was hallucinating while driving to work at 3am.... scary shyte mon!! Get some rest!

Unfortunately, you find what most people who work these hours do, and it is just your body reacting to an abnormal wake/sleep cycle you are on.\n\nOur bodies are designed to sleep at night and be awake in the day. Since you are doing the opposite, you will have these problems. Many people don't stay on this schedule for long, I suggest you consider your options to save your health in the long run.\n\nTo help you in the mean time, I suggest using your mind; cross word puzzles, math problems, reading a subject that is exciting in a positive way, etc. Also, taking a walk for a few minutes helps to circulate blood to the brain, do some slow deep breathing too while walking. Don't eat big, heavy meals that are fatty in nature, those will make you sleepy. Eat light healthy meals, this will help you to not feel full and then get sleepy.

You may need to have a consistent sleeping schedule with the same amount of hours each night. Your body may be confused.

There are a lot of reasons you could be tired they could be a simple as not getting enough sleep or they could be more health related you might be dehydrated or you could have a problem with your thyroid. You should try drinking a big glass of water and lying down for a while. I would also talk to your doctor about the way you are feeling. Good luck.

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

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.

Very much so.  I spent the entire weekend sleeping on my father's couch, so in addition to being irritated and unmotivated, I'm sleepy too.\n\nMaybe I'll be in a better mood tomorrow.  We'll see.

you probably aren't eating healthy, or not getting enough exercise. Also, make sure you get enough sleep every night.

Ouch. You desperately need to see a sleep medicine specialist. Are you depressed lately? Maybe you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. Are you on any medications? Is your home too warm at night? Maybe you have mild narcolepsy and don't realize it. Are you a snorer? A sleepwalker? All these things tell something about your sleep patterns.\nI suffer from several sleep related disorders so I know that you really should see a specialist. He/she can 'wire' you up for a night and see what's going on with your dura matter. \nCheck out WebMD online and it should give you a start on info and where to find more.\nBest wishes to you with this serious problem.
