Have you ever slept too much and felt horrible for the rest of the day?

Ah it happens to me every winter...Infact just before winter begins the weather is so perfect that I do not feel like getting up from bed. Also I find it difficult to sleep in the night because I over slept in the day...The next will be the most gloomy day as I feel all drained out and I feel like doing nothing. All drowsy too.

hi, i have the same feeling with you,if you sleep too long youmay be tired the rest day,which brings ue more tiredness,i donot know why,but it really hurts me a lot, we must control the time of the sleepnes so that we can do better the other day,

That's me in the am. I can get the kids off to school and have the agenda to go back to bed, especially if I don't have class that day. I try to do it but then I wake up around noon and feel so dragged down, almost like a hangover but no drinking was involved. ( I think that's why I stopped drinking on the weekends). I never feel better until the next day. It's rough!

Hi, i have experience this too that whenever I slept more than what I am used to I would feel tired and more sleepy when i get up. At times i feel like staying in bed because I feel lazy to move. LOL. I think too much of something is not good in our case it was sleep. I even noticed that when i get up later than my usual get-up time i am not myself and i feel like bumming around for the rest of the day. It is always better to stay and get up early to start the day... :)

Yeah. That happens... Recently I slept for 11 hours and woke up like I have been up all night. I was so tired, I had no motivation to do anything! I tuned in to the radio as it was a music chart show. After listening to some cool music, I became better a little. For me sleeping longer (than 4-5 hours) makes my stress levels to increase and is detrimental to my health and productivity and my studies. It makes me less effective and efficient. Have you realised that when you slept much earlier and longer the previous night, you seem to be tired before your bedtime the next night?

It's definitly horrible for me to sleep a lot.When weekends my roomates and i will keep sleeping untill the noon.Everytime like that the rest day of mine will be tired and energeless.I almost thought that it got more horrible that i was sleepless.So i decided not to sleep for that long time again.From the survery,sleeping too much is also not so healthy.

Yes, I have overslept and felt really horrible later. We have had a long weekend with regional festivities and Diwali holidays and the office has reopened today after three days…so you can imagined how much rest I’ve had and how long I’ve slept. It was only yesterday night that I could not go to sleep…obviously I had overslept these days and my quota of sleep requirement was way over fulfilled LOL. In the day time too, if I get up really late, my head feels so heavy and I don’t really want to do anything later…I just want to l lay back again!

Yes. I have not had that happen to me in a very long time though. I barely get enough rest now. I have slept for a longer period of time though and got up and my back hurt too.

Yup--I feel the same way. I used to get by with six hours of sleep, but seem to sleep a bit longer now. Then I have days where I really oversleep and not only do I seem to feel more tired, but guilty as well...I think to myself I could have used that extra time to do something constructive instead of sleep.

Hi tuckersheri, Over here in Greec there is the national habit, especially in the hot months, of sleeping for a couple of hours after lunch, and waking again before eveything re opens at six. Whenever I've done it though it definitely makes me feel lethargic afterwards as if I can't wake up properly, a horrid feeling. I don't feel that way if I get the odd lie in in the morning but only during the day.

I feel terrible when I sleep too much. My body and head ache and I feel really annoyed that I wasted a lot of time because I just slept when I could have done a lot of things. I'm the kind of person who wants to do as much as possible in a day, and this includes not only work but also time for having fun.

No I have not felt bad after sleep a long time because when I do sleep long it is just to catch up on the sleep I did not get. I usually get about 6 or 7 hours sleep and feel fine.

Yup. I feel tired and having no energy at all if I over sleep. I don't know why it's happening when one should feel so energetic after getting so much sleep. Guess too much is not good at all. :) shadow41

Too much sleep,it guves people a feeling of fatigue!This uncomfortably!To the body's fatigue!Many are sieeping Beauty however,sleep more,make the body more tired!

I am awake 20 hours everyday. I feel differently when I sleep for more than 4 hours. ^_^ I am a weirdo after all.

You feel that too? I did last week. I woke up so late that I felt dizzy and tired. My body hurts and there's pain in my back. I talked to a family member and she laughed at me, saying that it's impossible. You surprise me by posting the same problem. LoL!

If I sleep too much I definitely feel very bad. It is probably worse than not getting enough sleep. I guess the body knows when it is getting the right balance and when it is not.

Hi sheri, yes me too i feel like crap when i wake up too late. My baby wakes up usually around 8 am and he come to wake me up lol i feel shame i shoud be the one who wake up first. I am home staying mother and my hubby is only one who works so it gives me possible to wake up late.. I actually dont like it...sometimes i put clock to ring , but if i dont wake up on clock i wake up too late and feel bad about it....i guess im too lazy sometimes, its so good to stay in bed:) i have tryed also to wake up and drink directly like hot tea or coffee and actually i feel good after that and day goes good also ..but the big problem is to get out of bed at first place..

hi there, i feel the same way too. I am not much of a sleeper. I got the same feeling when ever i slept over 7 hours.

Hi Tuckersheri, If I sleep past 7 am I will wake with a headache not sure why but this has always happen to me. Once I"m up and about it usually goes away. I have taken sleep aids before and those will always make me feel awful the next morning.
