Sleepiness can stem from both under sleeping or over sleeping. If you have been sleeping enough hours that your body needs, you should not be feeling sleepy at all.
This is absolutely normal as different people requires different amount of sleep per day. It's true that doctors recommend at least 8 hours of sleep per day, but again, different people needs different hours.. and some would need longer than that, whereas some people would need lesser hours than that for the body to recover its energy.
Personally for me, if I were to sleep beyond 4 hours, I would be over sleeping and I would feel very giddy and sleepy after I wake up. This is because for me my body only needs 4-5 hours of sleep per day to feel very energetic for the rest of the day.
Some people like my friends requires up to 14 hours of sleep per day. If not, they would feel very sleepy and cranky throughout the entire day. So it's all depends on what your body requires.. and of course also what are the activities you had been doing during the day so as to allow your body to fully replenish the energy that had been used up.
Try to take in more vitamins and minerals to nourish your body too.
Well, I hope that this had help! Happy Mylotting!!

Thank you angelia,
Mostly i sleep atleast 6-8 hours a day, but there are times that i dont sleep for the wholeday for the activities i was envolve, so the next day i did is to oversleep to fill-in the lost sleep of the day before, but things went wrong for i always feel sleepy now a day which doenst happen before. I guess it is a wrong methods. I think i should take some vitamins for dont really take vatimins. thanks for sharing friend.

I don't usually feel tired when I wake up. I get enough sleep and the reason I know this is because I promptly wake up in the morning feeling fresh and well-rested as though I have recharged all my batteries. Cheers!!

let me start by saying sorry for the loss.
ok, now let's go to the topic at hand. for a person who has insomnia, sleep is but a luxury. oftentimes i find myself responding to discussions in the middle of the night just to tire out my eyes. how i wish i could say that i have had enough sleep. but no, that would be lying :D
you're sleepy probably because of the stress that you've been thru in the past few weeks. perhaps your body is merely recharging

Yeah i agree with you patzel88, maybe because i dont have many work to do during work time, i am always waiting for work to come for me, sometimes i wait for a half day but still nothing to do. But i cant sleep for it is time to work. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes sleeping just for 4 to 5 hours makes me fresh and I can also stay fresh for the remaining day.. SOmetimes even sleeping for 8 to 10 hours makes me feel sleepy for the remaining day. I should sincerely agree that I oversleep mostly. I think that's the reason I am feeling dull..
