Why am I so tired all the time and sleeping so much?

This could be due to depression. I suffer from depression and anxiety as well. Did you start a medication? Maybe you need to get use to it? feel free to add me as a friend. Hope you are getting the help you need.

I know when I am "coming off" sugar, my body does the same thing. Track your sugars for a bit, and look to see if the sleepy days come right off of a high sugar day.

Depression is a nightmare, just because it hasn't affected you this way before doesn't mean it isn't now. I get so low sometimes, that sleep is my body's only way to combat what I feel. I must admit that getting out makes me feel so much better, the fresh air clears my head a bit. Have you got medication from the doctors, if so, this should help a bit but you need to push yourself to getting out a little, even walking around the garden may help?? :-)

Are you being treated for depression? You should talk to your doctor about this. I have had the same problem lately. I can't get up on time, I am tired all day and sleeping every second I can. I have a slightly hypoactive thyroid but my sleeping problems coupled with my other sypmtoms leads me to believe that mine is due to a change in my thyroid. So maybe you should have a lab work up done too just to rule out thyroid or anything else. Long story short you should always talk to your doctor about unexplained changes.

Hey. Just a thought. I was having similar issues. The doc changed my meds, checked my thyroid, etc. Everything normal (except some hormone issues but we got those fixed too I think). Anyway, at one follow up he wasn't in and I saw the PA. She tested my vitamin levels and I had a D deficiency. It wasn't even that low so I thought that there was no way this could cause me to feel so bad. She told me just to try it because everyone reacts differently to variations in vitamin levels. I haven't been taking it all that long, but it started helping pretty much immediately.

Fatigue is the #1 complaint for Dr.'s visits. Generally due to nutritional deficiencies. Not because we make bad choices all the time. But because of our inability to assimilate the nutrients in the food we eat. As our food moves from our stomach into the small intestine it is digested by adding bile with the almost 80 different types of bacteria and enzymes to break down our food to be absorbed into our system by our villi. Villi are microscopic hair like structures lining the interior of our almost 27 feet of small intestinal wall. At the best of conditions we extract only a portion of the nutrients from our food. 1.) When we eat food (now or in the past) that has gluten or some sticky substance (or so it becomes when mixed with the digestive fluids) that tends to adhere to the villi forming a layer so the fresh food we eat passes over the top. The layer is still breaking down with the bacteria and enzymes but becomes toxic, still releasing into our blood stream. Our bodies can handle some toxins (that's what the liver is for), but when we get a constant release of toxins into our system, our immune system works really hard to overcome them, but can only fight so much without adequate nourishment. A good cleanse can help you regain some of your body's absorptive qualities. I have done a gentle 21 day cleanse and my energy has magnified immensely. 2.)The villi themselves could and probably are damaged as are some in everyone. The things that damage these are: Stress, Smoking, Drinking alcohol, High fat diet (lots of fried food), and even Antibiotics. You can repair those villi with a good cleanse and some aloe. I have been taking a product that promotes the growth of the villi, and I appear to be doing rather well physically. I ride almost 100 miles/week on my bicycle, and my energy level is stupendous. I would tell you what I am using but I also sell that product, and the rules say no advertising. I started selling the product because I got such fantastic results on it. I even have a degree in Computer Networking and the results on this product were so incredibly life changing that I decided to help other people to experience the same success as I have. Hope this helps. Michael "Nutrition Destination" Tyler Texas

Could be sleep apnea. Do you snore?
I had the same problem, would even fall asleep at work.
Got tested for it. Now I sleep with a CPAP machine. I can't sleep in past about 8:00 with a great nights sleep every night and I have no urge to nap or sleep during the day.
