I sleep a lot but still feel tired in the day??


Question: Okay so I normally I sleep about 7 hours every night, and at most I can get about 10, but either way, I still feel tired in the day. I'm 14, average weight (135-140 for being 5'8 ) and I excercise often. Could sleeping erratically be the problem? Because I got 10 hours of sleep last night and since its 1:20 now and i have to wake up at 6:30 it looks like ill be getting about 5. Its pretty hard to maintain a strict schedule, but will it really help a lot if I do?
Answers: lol you need to sleep innnnnnnnnnn! not wkae up at like 7 30 and 8 that is toooooo early!!!!!!!
maybe your stressed. or you worry a lot
i have the same problem ( I even have to wake up at 6:30 tomorrow too)
then sleep less.

kidding swthrt...........
take my idea.....wenever i go to sleep i make it like a big event......spray perfume on ur bed. be totally fresh......may be u can take a bath.make ur bed very neat and cleanly.

and the most imp thing is wen u wake up in the morning dont think bout the fact that wen u will go to sleep again.
How is your diet? It sounds like you might not be getting enough nutrition. Start taking a mulitvitamin and eating better. You should feel much better within a day or two.
Try finding a way to get serious exercise before bed. Running or something.
You might have low iron levels or you might be depressed.
They say a schedule will help you feel more on track and less sleepy however alot of what you are talking about can be caused by a lack of vitamins or nutrition in your diet... I would recommend trying to sleep close to a pattern but you do not need to keep it perfect. Also go to walmart or target and grab some One-A-Day vitamins that should help you out.
It would definitely help if you had a stricter sleeping schedule. You want to try to go to sleep and get up at about the same time every day. Going to sleep at 9pm one night and 1:30am the next is probably giving your body fits!

Another reason you could be low on energy is your diet. Make sure you are getting enough protein and fruits and vegetables in your diet.
Yes you might have been sleeping erratically. You should try to sleep better by preparing your beds, have a hot bath, drink a warm milk to sleep better. Your sleeping posture might be a reason. If you are sleeping with a not straight posture, adjust it.
At your age, you should sleep 8hrs/day
Something to think about. Why do we go to bed when we're not tired, but we get up when we are?
Eat balanced and nutritious diet. See the doctor if the poroblem still persists.
a schedule would be nice.

i dont have one, really, i've been up til 1 in the morning or later having to get up in 5 hours...

i am 17, around 120-125 for 5'4'' skinny and occasionally excercise,


but getting a schedule will keep your body in check and your body will be able to tell you when you are or are not tired.
I suggest you check your Blood Pressure.
Since you are in your early teens, you may be doing some growing and your hormones are changing. This can require more sleep and make you tired during the day. If you have trouble going to sleep, try taking a Benadryl. It is only an antihistamine and isn't habit forming. It will get you sleepy. Make sure you are getting enough protein in your diet and some good exercise during the day. Just give yourself a break on weekends and sleep in.
I think it is just a period in your life where you just are growing fast and nothing more.
Sleep is not the only solution to avoid fatigue or tiredness.
In your case, i think you lack Potassium and Iron in your diet. Since you've mentioned that your only 14 (adolescent stage), you are prone to anemia because of rapid growth rates and erratic eating habits.

For good health, it is important that you eat a balanced and varied diet. Always include fruits and veggies in your diet.
If you have constant unusual signs of tiredness, see your doctor. There are many causes of such symptoms, and simply taking an iron or potassium supplement or multi-vitamins may not be enough.
