replace the coffee with orange juice? Caffeine makes you crash, juice has different types of sugar, and vitamins, those keep you awake. Also, adrenaline too, so go work out a little. |

thank you ninja. i have cut back on the coffee. i do tai chi but i could use more excercise. i will try the orange juice. and vitamins? like an all in one vitamin or maybe vitamin B? i heard that's good for energy. and any advice on diet? i'm mostly vegeterian. thanks again and any tips are welcome. |

Don't know what exactly your problem is, but I am very tired and still sleepy even after 13 hours of sleep. Do you have sleep paralysis? If so, you may have narcolepsy. |
|
thanks for the reply PinkCrimson. do you have narcolepsy or other? i thought about going to a sleep clinic. any thoughts on that? i |
|
It may not be a sleep problem, but may be some other health problem, you should see a doctor to check it out. |

Green tea! |

Sleeping long is not a bad thing. I usually sleep about 12 hours on the weekend/holidays. When I need to get up for school I'm also death tired but I figured out what to do against it. I noticed that when I planned something awesome for the weekend and it's early I wake up without being tired but when I have to wake up for school at the same time I'm very tired. I think it's because when you want to wake up for something voluntary then you are like "this is going to be awesome I mustn't miss it" but when you wake up for something you don't like it's "Hmm I hate to stay up in the morning". It's some kind of a placebo effect so I tried to find something in school that makes it worth to wake up. Guess what...it worked! |

I have the same sort of problem and am going to go to the doctor, probably get a blood test to check my iron level etc. It can't hurt for you to get it checked out. |

good luck FancyRat. let me know how it goes. i'm taking all the advice on board. i will post results. |
|
tbh you are over sleeping, try sleeping 8 hours make your self get up see how you feel that day. I always feel tired If I sleep for longer then 10 hours. |
|
yes that would be the obvious answer. but i think it requires more then just that. I find, it helps to stop fighting it. I sleep when i need to and thanks to the advice above (thank you people)i do my best to eat and drink well, green tea, orange juice, supplements, excercise, meditation, Katsuno's placebo... and I find that has helped tremendously. I have more energy and sleep better. but for some sleep is a real problem! good luck sleepy heads! |

I'm pretty sure exercise helps this condition alot of times. |

sleeping to much can get you tired, that`s a paradox but that`s reality |

dream goals:
[ ] - sail with the Black Perl to Hoghwarths and show my magic wand to Hermione aaarrrrrrrrr
[ ] - turn into Chuck Norris,kick Justin Bieber into a large pit, while shouting "shut the f*ck uuuuuuuuuupppp"
[ ] - meet the Sasquatch and ask him to pick my stocks, then crash the economy
[ ] - find my virginity to avoid the piranhas on the escalator and get probed by aliens
Very true, hpnfreak. I think tiredness and apathy are largely caused by the stuff you talk about though it's good to check in/work on the physical aspect too. I just found out, btw, that I am anemic so hopefully iron supplements will help for the physical aspect. |
