This comment section actually made me happy to know I'm not alone 😂 I sleep 12-15 hours every day and have no motivation to do anything. Sleeping away my life. I may be depressed.
Your comment made me feel really really happy i was very tensed about myself but your comment made me realize im not the only one
I feel sleepy 24/7 ☹️
@@greygarlic9423 i feel sleepy too. Can we talk ???
Definitely makes me feel better I'm not the only one.
@@ew6588 should we talk??
Just watching this video made me feel sleepy. Started closing my eyes
Liam G hahahahha me too
Hahahahaahahaha same here!!!
Liam G Same.
His voice made me wanna fall asleep
Lolll
I found my family 😭😭. This is where I belong.
I have also this problem I am so worry and I can't focus on my studies i don't know what's my future with so much sleep of 14. 15 hours a day
@@nageenfatima5320 ohh God this happens to you too.. Same here unable to focus properly in my studies😭😭 isn't there any way to get rid of this hypersomnia even i use to sleep 12-14 hours
Good to know I'm not alone 😌

I am currently facing sleeping problems. I feel sleepy during the day and when I try to take a nap I can't wake up before five to six hours. I'm sleeping almost twelve hours a day. Idk what to do
jenny's maid/ D-DU D-DU D-DU 400M views I can relate the same thing happens to me, once i fall asleep while trying to take a nap, its impossible to wake me up
I have the same problem and it's affecting my school because I dont have enough time to do work bc I keep getting tired all the time
I suggest scheduling an appointment with a sleep specialist.
I hate this feeling,I feel you :(
I everyday when woken up feel so sleepy that I can't control myself and automatically have to sleep more ;(
I can't do shit at that time but after about 5 or 6 p.m I feel mentally activated and can start the day,I got so upset so far
I sleep all day. If woken up during this hibernation I sleep even longer. The only thing that helps is watching funny stuff on youtube. I will still be tired throughout the day or night(depends on when I wake up).
I have a friend that only needs 5 hours of sleep to feel fully rested. I need around 11.
Over our lifetimes he will have over a decade more time spent being awake than me
My boyfriend is like that, he gets mad that I sleep so much. He tries to be understanding but as a ‘nonsleepy’ person he can never understand.
I sleep for 12 hours daily. It is extremely difficult for me to get up before a 12 hr sleep. I feel groggy all day. Once in a week i sleep for 16 hrs a day.
It is really causing me depression.
I feel you man. I'm going through the exact same thing and I sometimes wish I didn't exist. I feel like a totally useless person.
@@thedreamer9529 it's because they are spraying the skys with lithium barium and Alluminum. You body is reacting to the chemicals and heavy metals in the air we breath.
@@danielthalion Spraying the skies?
I'm confused
@@thedreamer9529 look up and see. Do one Google search or TH-cam search of chemtrails or geoengineering and you will start to understand that you and your children are being poisoned by the air you breath
Its been years that I have woken up feeling good and refreshed. I always wake up feeling like crap. Even if I have a great nights sleep. And it takes me hours to shake off the groggyness. It makes living crap, I could care less if I wake up anymore.
I don't have narcolepsy or anything like that. I'm just so tired. And nothing I look up fits my description. I need at least 12 hours- that's half the day!- or more to wake up feeling decent and even when I get twelve hours straight, many times I'm STILL tired, groggy, feel awful, feels like my body is filled with cement, no energy, have to take a nap. It's been like this for years. And I'm missing so much in life, it's robbing me of a life. And I get so angry and jealous of all the normal people around me that get to do whatever they want with all their abundant time they have and energy to do stuff. And of course they don't understand me and judge tf out of me. I'm so angry.
Found a cure??
I sleep 12 hours a day too.
Same.
I am the same,i even can sleep 18-20 hours but that is not that often.
Had to write this to,i am maybe on something.There is two weeks know that i dont eat bread and processed sugar(sweets,coca cola etc).and know i am not so tired,and sleep less.really hope that that is the “cure”,but similar thing hapened when i reduced coffee to a one cup a day,before that i drinked arround 10.
And yea,sorry for spelling.english is not my first language
Depression
I can sleep for 24hrs straight. I won't feel hungry. Even after sleeping that long, am still tired and want to take a nap again. I memory is so bad, i forget everything. I even forget the neighbor I stayed with for 3 yrs after like 2or3 yrs.
R u serious or u r just kidding?
@@asrayumnah6835 No I'm serious. That's really happening with me 😔
Same...
I do the exact same thing. I can easily sleep for over 24 hours if left undisturbed
me too. its been a year since you commented this..how are you doing now??
I can't tell if I'm insomniac during the night or hypersomniac during the day
I thought I was the only one feeling this way
Any luck improving this? I am the same
Honestly same my sleep patterns will be fine for a few days-months then I just randomly can't go to sleep at night (I take melatonin but that hasn't been working anymore) It sucks and I don't know what to do anymore
My mom just thinks I am staying up on my phone but I am literally just laying in the dark on my bed listening to instrumental music trying to sleep for like hours. Or I'll wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to fall back asleep, It really messes with my life I am wasting the day away sleeping because I didn't get sleep at night.
@@trash5673 me too😞
7am-6pm sleep... that's 11 f-ing hours!
Too much sleep: wrong.
Never sleep: wrong.
Sometimes I got insomnia but now I got hypersomnia. What's wrong with me??
Same here.
th-cam.com/video/Rg5dX_I0Z2Q/w-d-xo.html
Same!!😓
Same
Ive got hypersomnia that lead me to insomnia hays
I've had sleep problems my entire life. But within these past few years it's become more obvious that there is something ligitimitaly wrong with me. I can literally sleep for 2 days and still be exhausted the day I go back in for work. Even then I need to take some sort of nap. I fall asleep while I'm sitting down on the computer for 10min On some days. It literally hurts me sometimes how tired I am. It doesn't ever matter how much sleep. I don't have the energy to do anything when I get home or take my girlfriend out places. My entire body constantly feels drained. I feel some moments after I have just woken up where I feel great and energetic and happy. But then that all goes away within about an hour or less. It is so depressing. I wish I had some answers. This video description sounds very much like what I go through.
Maybe you’re anaemic? Try taking some tablets/medicine because that’s been helping me quite lately too.
Have you gotten tested for sleepapnea? May be a cause. Some irregular breathing patterns may also cause issues. Look into "The Breathing Cure". Something as simple as taping your mouth when you go to bed may help.
Same I keep yawning all the time jeez
I took enough sleep but every time I open my books in the morning wanna sleep so bad
I have idiopathic hyper-somnolence with narcoleptic tendencies. I've struggled my whole life, even as a child. It's been hideous and the guilt of being labelled 'lazy' was debilitating. I wish there was a magic cure. It's the most debilitating and misunderstood disease. My commiserations to anyone who suffers from it and I pray that one day, there can be a 'fix'.
God bless you all.
i find myself sleeping from 9am to 6pm and then starting my day and i feel very energized for a few hours and then i’m dead tired again and i don’t understand
Same
Do you guys feel like your whole body having an ache after 12H of sleeping?(especially my neck)
N it makes me feel lazier to move
No brother when I sleep 12 hours above I feel more good than what I sleep just 6 hours when I go to office in morning I m very heavy sleeper I can't wake up on alarm ring my family members will awake me again and again then I awake and when I awake my brain was completely out of world but if I take one cup of tea I opened my eyes and coming in to this world and go for office I m very heavy sleeper
I do, plus no drive to do anything. You guys find any help yet? My dog helps me get up out of bed because I have to walk him, otherwise I prob wouldn't leave it and my home. Isolation is very bad too.
@Sofia Caldro yeah mee too have that problem
This music and your voice made me sleepy
I have sleeping problems and it ruins me entirely. My mental health is not good, and I just cry because I can’t go to sleep. I’m worried about my health and it takes 45m to 3h.
Hello, we're sorry to hear about your circumstances. If you feel that anxiety and stress could be causing you not to sleep, it could be an option to talk with somebody who can help you improve your mental health, like a counsellor or psychologist. It would also be recommended to visit your GP for a medical check-up also, to rule out any underlying causes for your lack of sleep. Best of luck.
Never try to fight with your anxiety just accept your feelings like...it's ok if you are nervous it's ok if you're fearing or anything just accept it. If possible talk to someone at that time about what you feel. Try to be focused n positive all the time. If you aren't sleeping it's okay you're also alike others don't think you're diseased. Always try to focus your mind on what you are doing at that time.also try not to talk to yourself or over thinking. Stay Blessed
45 minutes to 3 hours sounds line a fantasy to me. For me it takes several hours.
This is the same with me, i tried to sleep early at 8:20, it’s currently 10:00
####do excersise daily morning or walk regularly..make a schedule for day time make your self busy as much as much can....eat properly ,drink plenty of water...then you will get peacefull sleep...I had d issue more than 2 years...I didt visit any hospital,I didt take any tablets and all...I trained my mind....now I m doing good...but still I have some issues...but oneday I will clear all d problems...so belive on your selfe...nothing is permanent even our worries...so have a gr8 life...
I usually stay awake till like 5am and then I sleep until 5 - 6pm, is that part of this? I
I m exactly the same
Me too
i am kind of like you on that like few years ago i started having trouble falling asleep at night even being on psych drugs of course extended release so while i am more tired during the day i am not even getting enough rest while i sleep i already have OSA. i haven't been able to find good cpap method hope newer options. i am sick of the added depression and missing out on good things and oh the headaches. i don't even drink a lot of coffee no energy drinks. i mostly drink G2's or water. at night i sometimes take a melatonin sometimes help me fall asleep faster but depends on how much actual rest and oxygen to brain i am getting. i had been on few sleep aids before but hallucinations are crazy and since i live alone no clue if had been sleepwalking which possible side effect like no thanks that could be dangerous. sometimes i have last second things i need to do so when i take melatonin well anytime i take it not sure i have 8hrs of sleep i have tried going bed earlier but i just lay there restles toss and turn my legs bother me. i am def due for a sleep study consult to set up a sleep study i gotta call this monday been so busy but to reschedule the appointment i had for dec 11 due to snowstorm i have to rely on others mainly my mom for rides. i actually have been disabled since i was 24. i am 37 now. i legit though have my mom witness and a friend this was noticed more then when it was my friend i started to wonder so end of march i went down to florida to visit my dad after 2 days long story ended up thank god my friend lived so close to spend rest of my trip at her place which was more peaceful. so day of when i was to head back to airport to go home to massachusetts, i was just chillin with my friend and her son i was tired but weird for few minues i must have like zoned out because i swear i had just been talking with her and then i hear her saying are you ok i was like uhm what i think so. she said i had been staring off in like a trance and she kept trying get my attention i asked her how long and she said a couple of minutes like usually would zone back. afterwords i was like that was weird told my mom she said could have just been circumstance i was in why i stayed rest of my trip at my friend's but then when i started falling asleep sitting up while talking to my mom and her shaking me awake which still dozed right back off and i tell you i swear i could hear her talking. so freaky. i do need a sleep schedule but i need better therapy for my mental health and maybe some med tweaking still need find a psych had one he left and place i went to just up and closed down not long after. and i need cpap therapy if possible probably. i think my migraines would be less occurance. speaking of headaches ugh it's my med time anyway. also doesn't seem to matter when i take my meds on getting to sleep for bedtime.
Same dude
Nah that's just fucked up sleep schedule. Keep aside the phone by 10 pm and try to sleep. Continue this for 28 days n then it'll become a habit. Easier said than done i know. But hey anything good is not easy to do.
Being sleepy is ruining my life! I get an euphoric feeling when the sleepiness comes on between 2-4 pm - It’s the same effect as taking a Xanax. I HATE feeling like this daily! I’ve always been like this since my teen years, now I’m 44 and it’s only gotten worse. The euphoria started happening within the past 5 years. I can sleep 19 hours.
I have same thing. I read there is a molecule discovered in the spine thats common with us hypersomniacs in that acts on GABA. This "sleep euphoria" also happens when I wake up or try to sleep and is the reason I sleep/again so much, it is like a drug but the consequences are wrecked day/night rhythm and problems attending meetings, school and work, etc. Also the strange thing is that coffee makes me so sleepy. This is not normal. 3pm fatigue is a BIG problem for me if I wake up at 9am. I can sleep between 10 to 20 hours. I am on disability, but now I try to study to become something, but I pray to God that I will do it. There is no treatment other than using heavy stimulants, even Modafinil doesn't work.
I feel the same and I am scared
I was happy, and I had a normal life until 4 days ago. I felt sleepy about 2 hours before my nap time so I gave in and took a nap. The naps last about 15 minutes, but I wake up feeling extremely sleepy. Yesterday I decided to fight my sleep. It gave me the worst headache I ever had, and a nosebleed last night that I slept through. I can only stay awake long enough to get 1 or 2 things done. I was playing the piano for 4 to 8 hours a day. Now I'm too sleepy to do what I enjoy the most. If I get depressed, then it will be from sleeping too much. I'm already yawning again.
Lifestyles aren't normal. Doin work everyday is an abnormal activity for a human. We're designed not to work everyday and rest is very important.
Truer words were never spoken....!! You are right. Why the rest of the humans especially employers have no idea about it ?
I know i mean didn’t our ancestors have to lay low to save energy and food? Now we do stuff every day we are literally going against our dna?
@@SeFu2006 they went in bouts of vigourous activity and rests over the week
the harder you work, the better you will rest.
So at night I feel I've insomnia and at day I feel hypersomania !!
Dear Chanhal, if you're having problems maintaining a regular sleep pattern, book an appointment with your doctor as there are treatments to help you with this! Best wishes, The TD Team
I sleep for days, not a few more hours than recommended. I literally miss days and years of my life because of this.
I sleep 7-8 hours a night and when I wake up I already feel EXHAUSTED. I wake up and within 2 hours I try to take a nap and sometimes my nap will last hours. Then the anxiety of what I’ve just done kicks in so I am overcome with dread. Then I’ll do a few more hours work but could absolutely go back to sleep at any time. I just can’t wait to go to bed. On the weekends I can stay in bed all day. My therapist says it’s depression.
I used to got to bed at 10pm than at time sleep until 5pm the next afternoon. Most of the time I would have trouble falling asleep. The first time I sleep longer than 15 hours I was 17
joe Jordan I have this problem too :(
@@Aquamarine1111 how long has this condition affected you?
joe Jordan about 20 years now, it’s been particularly bad the past two or three years though. I can easily sleep for fifteen hours at a time, wake up for a few and go right back to bed. It’s awful.
Tigerpaw and Indira Tara Chinese medicine has some pretty good approaches. One tip I found helpful aside from Chinese medicine is no sugar and intense cardio
joe Jordan I will definitely try that. I’ll do anything at this point, I’m sleeping my life away! I’m sure you can relate...
I feel like one week I'm sleeping like crazy one week I'm barely sleeping it's a weird
i haven’t stopped being sleepy for 2 months now and my constant mindset is to curl up in someone’s arms and fall asleep. i just wish that was possible
My daughter has this condition and it almost ruined her life... Thank god she saw a doctor and began treatment.... Hers caused her brain to not want to go to sleep or wake up, the transition was very difficult for her brain....i have sleep apnea and my son sleeps with open eyes...
Deanne Kleine can you tell me the treatment she took please?
Rawan El-Kady she was on expensive meds that put her to sleep n woke her up... A sleep med with a amphetamine to wake her but she couldn't get insurance to pay 1000 a month so she takes a sleep med and stays on a rigorous schedule which does help... Her sleep disorder is called hypersomnia which is a "cousin" to narcolepsy... Or a form of it... Her brain has trouble waking and falling to sleep or the transition... Also they tend to be.programmed for being awake at night cause the brain falls asleep with daylight... A reaction to the sun...very strange, she also has a slight sun allergy... Really strange stuff.... But it caused disruption in her life, being late for work, school or absences... Getting up to feed her son, but no matter what u did, she was like comatose, absolutely not workable... It's what prompted her to see a sleep specialist.... I hope this helps...
Rawan El-Kady she works at home from a computer now so keeps her own schedule pretty much....
I sleep so often, I always need naps and they last for hours. I never had this problem but it just randomly happened and now I can’t last throughout the day without sleeping, I sleep at least 12 or more hours a day. I’ve became moody and lost my appetite, because of that I get nauseous from eating the smallest bit of food- I’m not sure if I should take this serious or wait it out...
Hey it’s Varys from Game of Thrones
i sleep for almost 24 hours if there isn't something to do the next day ad there isn't an alarm to awaken me
Me too....even I don't hear alarm ringing when I am sleeping😅
Me watching this after waking up at 6pm with still my eyes closed
I just slept 24 hours. Woke up and call the doctor. I have been a heavy sleeper for as long as I remember. And I have a strong feeling that’s a family problem.

I sleep for about 7 hours a day and I eat well yet I keep falling asleep randomly most often during class it happens as sudden attacks where I fall asleep, i have begun to have memory problems and cognitive dysfunction too I don't know what to to its already been 2 yrs since I developed this.... Can someone help me is there a cure?
Maryam Ahmad same for me and it sucks (( I know this is completely irrelevant , but hello ARMY. I’m guessing you are a Seokjin Stan, because same here )). But I have most of these symptoms too. It mostly happens during class for me

HELP HELP HELP
My husband did his sleep study, but is in denial. 15 years of him being absent, grouchy and confused and depressed is really destroying our marriage and family. He has an appt on Wed with the neuro. Neuro knew he had an issue just talking to him about it. Keeps saying he won't go to the appointment. This has WRECKED his life his ENTIRE life. Extremely hard to live with at this point. The kids are older and resent him being present but absent. Before you jump on me about being insensitive, I have Narcolepsy type 1, left temporal slowing and major photo sensitivity - so I understand his struggle.
I hardly sleep at nights but fall asleep every half hour during the day
I keep sleeping so much in class that I miss all lessons and it's driving me crazy
My classmates always wake me up but I fall asleep instantly
😭😭
I'm so pissed
th-cam.com/video/Rg5dX_I0Z2Q/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been trying to seek help for years now. Absolutely miserable process along the way. Took an entire year to get sleep study and narcolepsy studies done to have them ruled out. I got a Positive diagnosis of hypersomnia over a year ago and my doctor said there’s nothing that could be done other than take stimulants from a psychiatrist. He told me “just check your mirrors while driving and try to stay awake.” I was defeated and gave up. Eventually out of desperation I saw the psych iatrist who was not a specialist. Prescribed me pills in less than 10 minutes, only worked for 1 day before returning back to excessive sleepiness. When I told the Psychiatrist she gave up and said I need to find a specialist. I’m getting bounced around like a ping pong ball, nobody seems to know how to help me.
I can't sleep at night, but as soon as sunlight hits, my eyelids become heavier, and i can sleep in like 60 seconds. I tried keeping myself awake for the whole day, just to sleep at night, but no matter how much tired or longer i've been awake, i can't sleep at night.

This helps, I have narcolepsy and my friend was facing daytime sleepiness and he wanted to know if he has narcolepsy then I gave him the sleep studies I have to do with my mom before a sleep study and it turned out from all the symptoms he has hypersomia from doing all my research
sleep study tests*
I always get tired at the same time every day in my desk at 2:30
My eyes start to droop than close it takes me all the strength to not fall asleep!!
That's a circadian rhythm it can change
@@justinwalker2460 well now that corona is a thing all I do is sleep so I are right
I feel like I am insomniac and hypersomniac at the same time. Sometimes my palms starts itching. I am nowadays being extremely sensitive to things, and have emotional burst outs. What should I do? I am just sick of it😫
I almost slept 36 hrs straight the other day.. I woke up once or twice to eat but I just kept sleeping
During the past few days I sleep all the time like day and night. This might be happening to me because of the problems that I’m facing at home. Maybe I’m depressed for a long time now.. I’ve been wanting to go to therapy but it’s india and mental problems are not considered an illness at all..
I need an explanation, sometimes when i study too much, for example one day before chemistry exam i studied very thoroughly, and later when I went to my bed I was unconscious and conscious at the same time? I was using my pillow as a book and uttering random things related to what I had studies. It is so upsetting to find out that I have no control and I cannot sleep properly. Usually I suddenly get awakened and realise the odd issue.
I just want to share something that might help. I suffered from hypersomnia for almost 6 years and couldn't find a solution to treat it. I read somewhere that avoiding sugar and gluten might help. I tried it, and within a few days, I started feeling better when waking up. My overall feeling improved. Just avoid sugar, gluten, and oil.
Here's what I eat in a day, along with exercise:
Rice
Egg
Fish (cooked without oil)
Vegetables
Fruits (avoid very sweet fruits)
I nearly sleep before the video end 💀😭
I woke up at time on weekdays but at weekend I always woke up after 12-16 hours sleep and always felt extremely tired when I woke up, I can't anymore
They are spraying the skys with heavy metals like barium Alluminum and lithium. Its results in many people are a feeling of lethargy and uselessness. This is becoming more and more normal I see it in the children more so than ever. Kids usually are full of energy you cant slow them down, but recently the kids are always tired and want to stay home. It's crazy
I cant wakeup in the morning.. all i want in my life is to sleep.. can anyone really help? This is effecting my dailylife 😓😓😓
I sleep 15 hours a day and work 8 I need help 😭
What is the best time to sleep at night and wake up in the morning?
Can someone help me please?
I watch TH-cam videos until 2-3 every night and wake up 11 or 12 🙈
I would recommend not to watch anything prior to going to sleep. Electronic devices give of blue light which can cause not being able to fall asleep. Watching videos keeps your brain active and sometimes that's also a reason for not being able to sleep. I'd suggest listening to calm music, or vibrations, meditation or a voice that you can fall asleep to, or read something before going to bed. Breathing exercises help a lot to fall asleep. The slower your breath becomes it will signals the brain to fall into a sleep state. Sometimes changing the furniture in your room, or your bed can help a lot as well. Don't drink a lot before going to sleep because you'll need to go to the toilet. Keep a bottle of water next to your bed though.
They say the best time to sleep is usually around 9-10. I wouldn't suggest an alarm because the sudden disrupt of waking up by an alarm can cause even more tiredness since we usually have an automatic alarm in our brain. But if you do need to wake up at a certain time maybe a calmer sound for an alarm will help, or you can ask someone to wake you up.
I do the exact same thing.....its normal
im feeling sleepy mid day fighting to watch the video
It's so hard to stay awake
I wake up few times at night so i never get quality sleeep but dont feel tired during day!
I wake up night for like 2 hours then sllep again
all dictators are like that,
you should retire
hypersomnia is caused by depression
Or vice versa...
I don't doze off... But I sleep well at night and also sleep well in the day..... Still I feel tired and sleepy

Go head and thumbs up this post 👍👍if he made u sleepy
Ha ha
During the weekdays, I sleep at 4am then wake up at 7am for classes, then sleep at 3pm to 8pm to catch up. During the weekends, I sleep at 7am and wake up at 5pm. My sleep schedule is so messed up. But being at the final year of school, I have so much work to do, it becomes impossible to sleep at before 11pm. I don't know what to do. I'm really scared and worried.
i sleep almost all day... i get sleeping attacks... i was super good in studies bt now i think my mind becomes weak... i can understand anything, cant focus on studies... its totally ruin my life... gain alot of weight... dont know wht to do... everyone make fun of me like i'm doing some kind of drama...
I sleep early but still manage to wake up late my alarms don't work or i just wake up and go right back
Went through this for 1 and a half year. Really annoying and nobody understands your problem.
I always fell sleepy.. I am losing my memory and concentration on studies...
I think that most of you are going to sleep at the wrong time. Instead of staying up late at night get in the bed early. Regulate your circadian clock with melatonin. Create a sleep pattern and your long sleep should shorten drastically. The problem is that most of you screwed up your clock by having unhealthy sleeping habits and always staying up late. There is nothing wrong with you. Get in the in the evening not at night.
Perhaps. But there are also people who are naturally morning persons and are high energy during the day which has nothing to do with self discipline nor conscious choices they made about when to go to bed.
On the other hand, I worked as a late night security job and it was absolutely effortless and enjoyable for me to work those hours, while the same schedule could be very difficult for a 9 to 5 person to adjust to.
I am going to try your suggestion, btw. It can't hurt to try.
Pretty sure most of us have tried this obvious solution- it’s bigger then that. Not a willpower type thing.
i'm afraid to go to sleep now ive been sleeping too much lately and sometimes i dont know if im dead or alive awake or dreaming and sometimes i cant even control my thoughts and actions

I just want to sleep forever maybe I'll croak
I sleep anywhere from 16-22 hours a day and still sleepy. This has been going on for 15 years. NOT ONE DOCTOR has suggested a sleep study. They just say I'm depressed and give me meds, ie antidepressants, ritalin & provigil to keep me up and I drink 5 hr energy whenever I am awake. But I can still sleep through it all. My life is worthless. 😴😪
I move and talk while sleeping.. I wake up flailing my arms.. kicking my legs.. doing the the "swiping" on a cell phone (I'm not actually holding) .. laughing.. crying.. I'm always exhausted.. like .. very unnatural exhaustion
Idk whats wrong with me its 7am right now ive not slept properly for a week now and i think throughout the week ive had atleast 6 hours together???!!! Its honestly so annoying i cant sleep at all even when im trying my hardest and super sleepy i will just lie there with my eyes dead open and cant close them 😭
Inner strength would help but sometimes it makes it hard because it hard to have strength do to feel sleepy
I used to sleep a lot but things are getting out of hands during this lockdown. I slept at 4 am woke up at 11 am then again slept at 3 pm and woke up at 9:30 pm and this irregualr sleep pattern is getting out of hands, whenever i wake up from these long naps I hve no energy to do any work I'm still tired, it's so bad I'm behind a lot of schoolwork it's drastically affecting my grades and not being able to do anything just makes me feel so useless and pathetic
Ah man I always get tired at night, I just don’t know how to not get tired at night
This is new but happened after a traumatic hospital visit. All I want to do is sleep
My roommate is 74 he is bi-polar. He sleeps 16+ hours every day. He does not seem depressed. He cannot control his sleeping, even during the day. When he is awake he is not very active but he is capable of doing normal activities. He does not sleep particularly well, he gets up to use the bathroom every 3 or 4 hours. His hips ache, I assume from sleeping so much. I feel that if he was able to stay up during the day he would sleep better at night. His doctors have no idea what is going on. His overall health is not bad, blood tests and such are relatively normal.
He sees a psychiatrist occasionally and he says he does not think the sleeping is psychological. His general practitioner seems to have no clue what is going on. He retired at 60 and quickly began to sleep for very long stretches so this has been going on for years. I believe this is starting to affect his mental functioning somewhat as well as his physical health. Do you have any suggestions as to what might be going on?
I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Hypersomnia in 2017, after a lifetime of complaining to various doctors who told me nothing was wrong. I sleep approximately 10 - 12 each night, and go to bed between 6pm - 8pm every night. If I don't get a minimum of a 2 hour nap each day, I'm unable to function. My doctors won't prescribe any medication besides Vyvance, which just made my sleepiness worse. So I have to work part-time, limit my physical activity, and disappoint my kids daily because I'm so tired. It's worsened as I've aged, especially after age 30, and again after age 40.
Have u found any proper treatment for this problem yet?
I swear this weekend I sleep 15 hours on Friday and 16 hours on Saturday
Fuck I tried to watch this but fell asleep twice.. And it's 2 PM!!

I slept for a good 8 hrs today, but still was sleepy in the day. So I took a 3hr nap. I thought it was just too much
With this quarantine i was playing all night games and now my sleep is fucked . Cant sleep untill 8-9 in the morning all the way too 15-16 , its very bad believe me
Watching this video while im sleepy 😴
I literally am never tired
if you could please tell about cause of my problem.
I sleep at night for long hours and feel sleepy at daytime too and I can't control myself from sleeping now.
hahahahaha ok when you said sticking socks in the fridge that was just so funny because the other day I found a sock in the fridge I think it was my mum
My mother is 82 ,up until a year /18 months ago she would be up between 8-9 am ,but She is now sleeping through to the afternoon,something she has never done before.
She started to have memory problems around the same time and we have yet to get a diagnosis of Alzheimer's etc ,a CT scan has detected small blood vessel disease and some brain .atrophy .
Could this possibly be the cause?The disease destroying the internal clock in the brain .
Could it be heart problems
Hi doctor . I just happened to stumble here cause I always feel sleepy and tired even when I just woke up or even at noon . Its affecting my school schedule because I feel like I'm always sick and most of the time it affects my moods . What am I going to do ? Am I sick 😭
I go to sleep at 9pm, wake up 2 and then go back to sleep and wake up at 12am
I sleep late wake up to make husband his breakfast and then sleep till noon then am on the bed all day may or may not fall a sleep, feel lythargic all day n do nothing productive, sometimes have headaches and migraines that last all day
I have no motivation in life then am awake from 5pm till late night, sometime abruptly waking up at night and watching videos at 3am, m sleeping my life away
I'm 26 and I'm so so sleepy all the time, I sleep 8 hours at night. But when I'm falling asleep I have these jerk moments, they wake me up as I'm falling asleep during day and night. But I don't have them in the middle of the night. I also mumble or talk in my sleep. I need a fix :/
Im sleeping to much and i love it but it gets depressing sometimes...
I'm getting sleep apnea surgery for my issues. I can't wait to breathe again.
2 years ago I was burn out from work and during medical checkup, doctor suggested me to seek phycologist because I started sleeping excessively. Which then i learn about hypersomnia. It's killing my mental health, routine and productivity as well as my career. 2:50 exactly what I felt.
Would I have hypersomnia if it’s caused by bouts of depression? I really only notice it when I’m having an episode
I sleep for 11/12 hours when I'm not going to school,and feel tired during the day and take a 5 hour long nap and STILL feel tired after that. This affects me so much and I'm confused on what to do with my life at this point
Hi yagirl nextdoor,
It's very common to sleep for 11/12 hours on the weekends if you're of a school age, especially if you don't get enough sleep during the week. As for napping, it's entirely possible to nap for too long! Usually napping for less than an hour is recommended, because if you are a sleep for a few hours you'll go into a deep sleep then wake up feeling very groggy. Of course, if you're consistently getting more sleep than average through the week and you're still feeling tired, it's worth seeing your GP and family doctor about it.
Best wishes,
