Too much sleep tends to make you as tired as a lack of sleep. Its almost the same, you have to get it just right. :wink: :smile:

Your brain sleeps in units of a certain length..so if you sleep for an amount of time which is roughly equivalent to say two and half units, your may feel less rested than if you slept for exactly two. The units are only rough though and I don't think there's a lot of evidence to support the theory, though it does seem to make some sense. Just something I read once.

i find that if i wake myself with an alarm i will feel fine after 5 mins or so but if i wake up naturally i will feel tired and dreary for a long period of time.

but if i set am alarm the previous day for some reason i will wake up just before or say half hour before the alarm is due to go off even if ive only had like 6 hours sleep, its like i know what time to wake up because ive set my alarm for a particular time

its similar to when u run or do activity. before u hav dun alot u hav loads of energy and can run faster etc, then in the middle u get tired and its painful, but soon after u can break the pain barrier and then in effect run faster longer....... although completely opposite, i am sure that wen i started typing this it was actually a relevent idea that did seem to make sense :confused:

That makes a lot of sense. This happens every time I work out / go jogging :smile:

Apparently your body is conditioned to sleep for X number of hours, if you sleep longer, the energy created is then wasted - which is why you feel tired again.

Oooo, weird. Apparently 8 hours is the optimum?

Apparently a unit is 1.5 hours. So you'll feel less tired if you sleep 4.5 hours than if you sleep, say, 11 hours.

That's what I heard. Not sure how true it is though :p:

TheBiological Clocks within the body cause people to suffer when for example they have less sleep that they normally do. But this is also the same with when you have more sleep than you usually do. We should sleep roguhly 8 hours, although there is research to say adolesents should get around 9 to accomodate the need for our growth and as sleep stages have essential processes with growth hormones then we may need longer.

I believe that is right for an adult.

Good diet, regular exercise and staying well hydrated have a huge impact on how tired i feel generally, when you go through a stage of complete laziness and bad eating you tend to feel much worse than if you are active i think.
