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.

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

I get about 8hrs of sleep. I go to sleep at about 10pm and wake up at 6 am, but thats only because its my senior year (17 years young)of high school and I have like the easiest classes everrrr. Even with my two AP classes I finish homework so quickly. The last 3 years of high school I had alot of homework though so I usually went to sleep like at 2 every night. and got about 4 hours of sleep.

Yes, they work for most people!  The key is keeping it SHORT--less than 30 minutes.  Decide when to take it by taking the midway point of when you sleep at night (3 PM if you sleep from 12 AM to 6 AM most nights).  Give yourself time to lay down, set an alarm, and don't give in and sleep longer if you don't have time to.  You'll get into a pattern.  I survived on only naps one year.

Yes, I'm sleepy. I don't know why I stay up so late. Lack of self control, I guess. It's ten after 2 in the afternoon here. I start getting sleepy after lunch and way sleepy around 4.

Well, if your an adult, 8-9 hours of sleep is healthy....its not good to under sleep or over sleep. One technique i was taught in my psych class was to lay down on your back, and concentrate on your beathing. You have to make sure your breathing in and out of your diaghram, then after your concentrated, you begin to mentally relax your muscles...and so forth...its really does relax you and helps you stay asleep. If your looking for pills or anything, you can buy melatonin. Melatonin is a chemical in your brain that helps you sleep, when you dont have enough chemical, you cant sleep. Taking melatonin pills helps enhance that chemical and helps you sleep, and the best part is that you can buy at a drugstore otc. Its totally natural. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me.

Many people would reply by saying a minimum of eight hours of rest. But the answer doesn't depend solely on how many hours you log in bed. Night after night, you need deep uninterrupted sleep in a bed that provides adequate comfort support and space. What matters most of all is how you feel in the morning. If you wake up full of renewed energy, you've had a good night's sleep. \n\nThere is no one formula for how much sleep is enough for you. Expecting all people to need the same amount of rest would be as absurd as expecting them to eat the same amount of food every day. Each of us seems to have an innate sleep "appetite" that is as much a part of our genetic programming as hair color, height and skin tone. Normal sleep times range from five to ten hours; the average is 7 1/2. About one or two people in one hundred can get by with just five hours; another small minority needs twice that amount. \n\nHow much sleep is enough for you? To figure out your sleep needs, keep your wake-up time the same every morning and vary your bedtimes. Are you groggy after six hours of shut-eye? Does an extra hour give your more stamina? What about an extra two hours? Since too much time in bed can make some people feel sluggish, don't assume that more is always better. Listen to your body's signals and adjust your sleep schedule to suit them. \n\nKeep in mind that sleep needs change with age. And the older you are, the less total sleep time you may need. A newborn may spend 18 hours asleep. From infancy to adulthood, sleep decreases by more than half. Throughout the middle decades of life, seven or eight hours of sleep generally are needed to provide adequate rest. For older individuals, six hours may suffice.

It is harmful for you, though you might not feel anything more than tired.\n\nHave a look at this article and you'll see some of the price you'll pay for too little sleep. \n\n http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_deprivation\n\n(I am a nightowl, and I learned that the diabetes I have might have been headed off by enough sleep.)\n\nAlso check out:\nhttp://www.familymatters.tv/level_4/health/sleepdeprivation.htm\n\nIf you're a teenager, things are even more serious.  Check a search engine for "sleep deprivation in teens".

I don't know what time zone you're in, but I would suggest possibly taking a nap for a couple of hours then going to bed at your regular bedtime tonight. That way you don't totally throw off your body clock tomorrow. You need to get some sleep though!

This depends on each person. I only want/need eight hours. Mrs. Thatcher (and others) famously needed only four hours. I knew a girl who regularly had twenty-two hours. None of these people thought they were getting "too much" sleep. They simply slept the amount they felt they needed.\nWithout medication and assuming good health, I would think the body naturally wakes when it has had sufficient sleep.

I am the same way.  My wife wonders why I am so tired all of the time, but the truth is that a little nap during the day is really good for you.  Peoples bodies are so different.  My wife can just keep going for all hours.  I am very active as well, I lift weights, run, and work all day, but I usually find that a good nights rest sneaking in a little nap helps a lot.  I know that athletes are recommended to get about 10 hours of sleep.  So, it depends on so many different things, but your body will tell you what it needs and you should respond.

Heavens no.  Everyone has different needs as to sleep.  Some people function wonderfully on 4 - 6 hours.  Others can't feel their best without 8 - 10.  You will learn what your body requires to feel completely rested as you go - it will change as you get older.

I've been plauged with insomnia since as far back as I can recall. My mom always had problems getting me up for school in the morning, mainly b/c I didn't get much sleep at night. I've been a night owl ever since. I went through a time where I did speed/meth to stay up all night so I didn't have to worry about fighting to fall asleep. that was the first sign for me, I was always fighting to go to sleep. My mind just didn't seem to want to shut off. so, I had read never to stay in bed when you can't sleep after about 15 minutes....to do something relaxing, like read, or take a bath, or watch tv. but don't stay in bed. your not supposed to associate your bed with anything else but sleep. nothing helped me, even did a sleep study. I only slept 4 hours so they could only come to the conclusion that I had insomnia....gee, ya think!! well, I can only sleep with the help of prescribed meds now. good luck!!

No, it's not "ok".  You're not giving your body the rest it needs to recuperate and heal and eventually you will have sleep deprivation.  The average person needs at least 8 hours a night...some a little more.  Sleep deprivation can cause a lot of health problems, so get some more shut eye for your own sake.  Now go take a nap!  Godloveya.

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.
