Have you ever ended up sleeping to much and then being tired all day? Thats what happened to me today. I slept for over 9 hours and now I am just dragging all day.

yes, i too have experienced that. i was so feeling so tired when i woke up. bad thing is, i still want to sleep further. there was a time that i was nursing a very bad headache and have slept for hours. when i woke up, it made me tired and in pain the more. the headache didn't go away. i guess we have to do counter actions sometimes.

Hi MM Yes it has happened to me, but am sure it is because I needed the sleep. I remember sleeping for a whole day once! But even when I got up was really drowsy so went to bed early and slept through til the following morning but then was wide awake no more sleepiness for the rest of the day, it happens in spits and spurts...LoLo

Hahaha, I have experience such situation. I think when we sleep to much our body will tend to tire also. So when we wake up, we end up getting tired. I usually sleep 6-7 hours a day. I do not take any nap and is always an early riser. I am already awake at 5 or 6 am and is already drinking coffee by that time. If ever I sleep to much, I usually feel tired all day.

Yes that happens with me too. I find that i feel the best when i wake up at the same time everyday, even if i go to bed later than normal.

I absolutely hate when that happens. Sometimes i will go to bed early just so i can feel good and awake for the next day. Then when i wake up and all day im just as tired. It seems that you need just the right amount of sleep otherwise your brain gets foggy. Sometimes i sleep extra just because i enjoy sleeping (lol but the after effect sucks. does anyone know why this happens?

Yes, I have found that too much sleep can be as bad as too little for me. If I sleep too long, which isn't too often these days, I will spend the rest of the day with a headache and just want to sit around doing nothing... I sleep 5-6 hours and that is more than enough for me. - Derek

that's really true.. i always have that tired all day after sleeping too much. especially weekend, when i know i don't have to get up early to work. i think sleeping too much will give us negative effect. do you agree with that?

hi there, if u sleep more than 6 hours in a day then u feel tired whole the day. when. i live in rent house and no one to call me, then i sleep for 7 to 8 hours which makes me uneasy whole day. usually i sleep only for 6 hours and it makes me free minded for the day. thanks.

I've experienced that too. Sleeping too much makes me tired instead of making me more energetic. When that happens, I usually start doing things that keeps me busy, such as folding clothes. Little by little, I try to do more chores that requires more energy. That way, my tiredness goes away.
