Sleeping 16+ hours a day

[tailes151]

I had that when I was younger. I slept for 4 days waking only for meals. And I didn't just wake up my parents had to wake me up. Can't remember exactly what caused it or what it was called but it went away after a little while.

How do you have the time to sleep so much?

No job or school?

Did you just get out of school for the summer and are to young to get a job?

Been sleeping a lot lately, and I'm missing out on a lot of things during the day. Usually when I'm up I'm always tired anyways, no matter how much I've slept. Sometimes I sleep 14-15-16 hours straight, sometimes I'll sleep 10 hours and take a 6-8 hour nap later in the day. This started about a week ago. I've always had a lot of sleeping problems, and I've had low energy all the time, for a long time. I can't believe I'm sleeping so much this week though, something ain't right. 16+ hours a day of sleep is too much, plus I'm feeling pretty tired when I'm awake usually.

I had a $1000 blood test done a few months ago (why it cost $1000 I really have no idea, was just a normal blood test... insurance didn't cover it either =/ ) - They didn't find anything unusual, besides that I apparently didn't have Mononucleoses in my system anymore, which I thought I still did. I had Mono for about a year previous to that. Is it possible that I have mono again or is it one of those things you can only get once? I forgot.

What else could be the prob? I'm going to see my Doc this week, hopefully he'll find something wrong with me...I mean, well, yeah. Sleeping 16+ hours a day is about the best 'sickness' i could think of though, so I'm not too worried about it, heh. Much better than sleeping 4-5 hours a day. But, like I said I'm missing out on a lot of things during the day and getting little exercise...more positive points? Eh, I guess not

How much do you weigh?

Doctor's love to find problems and prescribe some magical pills, Eli said it best when he described humans as floppy chemical bags. Might as well just toss another pill in there... anyway, not anything personal to you, but make sure you're eating well (get a nice variety of vegetables, fruits, spices, meats, etc. in your diet) and try to fit in 30 minutes of jogging or something everyday.

I agree, I take matters into my own hands until something gets out of control.
