sleeping alot - July 14th 2010, 12:02 AM

I find that my sleeping patterns are ..... a little strange. I can sleep for over 20 hours and when i wake up i'm still tired. its like if im not asleep i'm half asleep. and when school starts up again and i have to get up at 5am i can hardly keep myself awake without falling asleep every 5 seconds. i know that cant possibly be "normal" so whats up with my crazy amounts of sleep? its not like i have slow metabolism or anything infact i have an incredibly fast one. I have to eat alot in between meals so that i don't get into one of my low blood sugar episodes or lose alot of weight.

It might be that you have disturbed sleep so you never quite shut off, this happens with people who sometimes stop breathing in their sleep etc (Don't panic too much! They always start again). Talk to your doctor.

i don't think that there's anything wrong with you, just because you can sleep a lot and are always tired anyway. but you should definitely ask your doctor, because there might be something else wring that's causing this.

It could be an STD?

Totally random, but my friend has Aids and it constantly makes you tired no matter how much sleep you have

See a doctor. I had same problems. Apparently I had sleep apnea, which means I don't breathe when I sleep, thus waking me up hundreds of times per minute. I got put on a c-pap (mask that blows air down you) to make me breahte, but I never got used to it, so it's gone and now I just deal with it. But you should have it checked out to see if there's something else going on.
