I don't get it. I've always had this problem. No matter how much sleep I get, I still feel sort of tired and worn out for most of the day.

Keep in mind:

1) I sleep 9 hours on average.
2) I eat well - the kind of food that doesn't make you fat anyway.
3) I don't drink, smoke, etc.

Oversleep?

I average about 6 hours of sleep and eat like crap, so I know why I'm always tired. As for you, I don't have any idea.

Maybe you're not getting enough nutrients. Proteins or something. I dunno.

When you think you're asleep, your split personality is setting up fight clubs and blowing up buildings.

Do you exercise a lot? I think I have more energy when I run on a consistent basis.

In Tyler we trusted.

Sleeping too much will make you tired too.

But are you actually tired, or just yawning a lot? Yawning is caused by lack of oxygen to the brain (so breathe more :p). If you're feeling physically exhausted, it's likely from oversleeping. Light exercise can help remedy tiredness from oversleeping.

Try only sleeping for 7-8 hours next time. Any more, and I feel horrible.

i once slept for 21 hours, but felt great afterwards because i hadnt slept for 48 hrs before hand.

Usually I can get away with 5-6 hrs sleep, but I usually prefer 9-11 hrs.

exercise and review your diet

[QUOTE=Connection Problem]exercise and review your diet[/QUOTE]

BAM you got it.

Certain foods eaten over time, such as red meat, will usually have a mental effect on you resulting to fatigue. Try to eat less portions of this and more vegetables and especially fruits. Also make sure you eat about 5 small meals a day, including breakfast.

Exercise in the long run is really healthy for you both mentally and physically, and will make your mind "positive and alert".

One more thing I would like to add: Overworking. I think you know what I'm going to say about it.

Care to back that up? Just the, you know, whole idea of man eating red meat for the past 100,000 years thing that's got my a bit skeptical...unless you just mean to balance your diet and not eat all red meat. And then I'd agree.

I have the same problem too, so I'm interested in this thread.

You may wish to see if you have any other symptoms that match clinical depression. Also, you say you average 9 hours, but if your sleeping is irregular (like mine is -- sleeping a crapload one day and not much another, etc.), it likely throws you off as well.

Dern "excersise" being a good remedy...

That helps a lot.

Having a crappy matress can make for bad sleep.

There's also this actual problem you could have while sleeping.

One of my excoworkers husband used to complain of the same thing - no matter how much he slept he'd be exhausted in the morning.

Eventually, he stayed overnight at a hospital and they monitored him sleeping and he had some problem where you either stop breathing some in the middle of the night - or something like that. Can't remember exactly

However, they put him on this machine at night, and now he sleeps very good

At first, I thought you might have had a case of mono, but you say you've always had the problem so......i dunno......

Here is some more info on my problem:

1) If I only sleep 7 or 8 hours (instead of 9), I end up being even more tired.
2) The amount of sleep I get is consistent.
3) I don't exercise ever, really. This could be the problem.

It's going to be difficult for me to get daily exercise though. Living in an apartment complex in a crowded city doesn't help. Maybe I ought to try...push-ups?

Actually, historically speaking, meat has always been difficult to obtain and rather rare. Obviously it varied by culture and level of wealth, but usually red meat was reserved for feasts or special occasions. If you ate beef every day you'd quickly go broke. Our fantastically rich Western culture is rather unusual in that if we wanted to, we could eat red meat with every meal.

Also, I have this exact same problem of not feeling rested after sleep. It might have something to do with my diet (not enough fruits and vegetables), but I wouldn't be surprised if it was sleep apnea or something. I've been meaning to go to the doctor for a checkup for a while now, but I unfortunately have this other problem called procrastination...

I EAT NOTHING BUT RED MEAT AND I FEEL GREAT!!!


*grabs chest and falls over*

Are you waking up too early? I know thats the problem I have. I can sleep 4 hours and wake up at 10 (read: Go to sleep at 6), and feel fine when I wake up, yet sleep 8 hours, wake up at 6, and can never wake up.

Also, the kind of "shock conciousness" that is employed by an alarm clock or something can't really help.

(By the way, sleep is one of the few things medical science really doesnt understand, so you wont find any true medical explinations here)

You need to do some cardio. Play a sport, run, or bike or something for a significant amount of time. You will see results almost immediatly.

You probably have a chemical deficiency.

I used to feel tired, nauseous and bloated until I asked my doctor about Zelquilryn®. Now every day is like a sunny day in which it is sunny, leaving me feeling upbeat, dizzy, nauseous and bloated. I have found success in my place(s) of business, and my peer group has shown me acceptance, while my significant other marks my Zelquilryn® enhanced performances as "showing improvement." Last time my significant other even gave me a sticker shaped like a birthday cake that was smiling. Isn't that terrific(s)!

Thank you, Zelquilryn®.

That's sleep apneia. Your airway closes when you're asleep, and you half wake up to start breathing again.
