I just can't stop sleeping. I've always been like this. As soon as I get up, all I can think about is when I can next sleep. I've literally slept most of my life away.
I Literally thought I was the only one fr I’m tryin to find the answer to this problem fr n all theese videos aren’t applying it
Same here for last 12 years sleep about 18 hours a day. I literally am sick of living.
Me too, sleepy all the time. But, I have severe anxiety and insomnia which I’m sure is the reason for my sleepiness. 😢
that's me right now
Make sure your getting enough vitamin D, are eating clean food, improve your relationship (humans are social creatures), and exercise.
i sleep for about 14 hours on average. i did so today, and i was done, this is not normal. yeah, hopefully im not diseased. stay safe, and stay blessed yall.
Sameee🥺😭😭
same oh my god
@@mwah9486 but you woke up so early 😂😂
Are you depressed
@AlexRocks80s80s yes. I have a swing shift at Ford plant. My work schedule is Fri and Sat 6am to 5pm and Sun and Mon 6pm to 5am. So on Tues, Wed, and Thurs I literally sleep 14hr a day. But on work days it's 6hr a day.
But yes I'm very depressed and have anxiety. Only 43yr old male. I take 1mg klonopin a day. When I'm comfortable I just fall asleep so easy
The great problem I find as an over-sleeper is getting out of bed the next day. I'm still tired, so I just lie there. Also I have anxiety about facing the day and getting started with daily tasks.
I just slept the whole day away.
I've been that way for a while. Just sleeping my life away honestly. Idk what to do, I ignore my problems by sleeping. I'm kinda just fading away. Anyways, this is an old comment lol have a nice day
@@lemmesleep1858 covid life
Me too. I love to sleep, because it helps me to escape from reality.
@@lemmesleep1858 fr
@@lemmesleep1858 but the only reason I’m doing it is bc I need Saturday to come
it can be related to depression if u have no motivation it can be hard to wake up
Not necessarily.
At the beginning, it says to see your doctor to cross out any potential things such as depression before being diagnosed with this
That's me. 14hr sleep a day
I want to go up to bed...trust me I really want to get up early but I just can't
Same
Same
@@careerist1860 yes you can, just do it for gods sake
@@user-ph1dm4hg5v It's not always that simple, J.
Same love sleep
I wanna sleep forever
😬
Me too.
Me also !!!!!??????
Okay. That means being dead
I just wanna experiment with sleep
This sounds exactly like me. I get 9 to 12 to 14 hours a day of sleep on average (more on the weekends though) and whenever I wake up I'm always feeling super tired and worn out. Like I just wanna sleep all day and I don't want to do anything else. I'm lazier, than ever. And whenever I'm feeling tired, mom tells me to drink coffee or ice tea. But it usually takes about 3, 4, or sometimes 5 cups before I feel energized. The first couple usually only make me stay awake but don't take away my feeling of tiredness and laziness. It makes my body awake, though not my mind, if that makes any sense.
I'd like to know more if possible.
Ah, also, I'd like to mention that it is extremely hard to wake up in the mornings. My mind seems to shut off the noise of the alarm and my brain will trick me into thinking the time is different than it actually is, although i don't know if too much sleep is what caused that.
Sounds so much like me I swear
Lenny The Hopeless You sound like myself and I have Idiopathic Hypersomnia (Dr. Rye is now my doctor - I'm from Michigan, but I travel to ATL to go to Emory now). Have your primary doctor do the usual suspects testing for fatigue (iron deficiency, thyroid, etc. etc.). Then, see if you can get a referral to a sleep disorders center. They need to do a nigh time (what you'd consider typical) sleep study. Then, the following day you need to have an MSLT (multi sleep latency test) done. Keep in mind that while the MSLT is the "gold standard" for diagnosing IH and Narcolepsy...it's HIGHLY flawed in the opinion of some lead doctors/researchers in the field. What you report in terms of sleepiness/alertness/sleep time etc. is equally important. Assuming nothing blood wise is off and the night time test doesn't reveal anything disturbing your sleep (sleep apnea, restless leg syndrom etc.) and you don't have any medications causing the effects, or another condition where hypersomnia is a secondary factor (MS, some mental health problems, some pain disorders, Lyme disease, etc.), then if you still have the long sleep times and the excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), then you're likely a candidate for the diagnosis of IH. Keep in mind, I'm not a medical professional, but I have had IH my entire life, so from what you've said and assuming the ruling out of the other things, you sound very much like an IH dx from your brief description. The "sleep drunkenness" is a huge problem for me (and others). Thank goodness for cell phones, because I can program multiple alarms and have different tones on them (1 tone for too long just starts turning into parts of my dreams - my old alarm back when I was in school was often a fire alarm in my dreams). I crave sleep constantly. Without meds, I'm basically not even functional anymore. The meds are far from perfect or a cure, but I'm thankful I can at least work and do things, albeit sleepy most of the time. Feel free to contact me if you want resources on where to get information. I see your post was 9 months ago, so maybe this article sparked your quest for an answer already with doctors. Best of luck to you!
Lenny The Hopeless I am also suffering from the same. I am sleeping for almost 12_14 hrs and yawning for the rest of the hours.
JASPREET SINGH Honestly when I sleep too much i get like that. If i cut back I feel more refreshed.
Ughh me too. But i haven’t checked it. Also i have black under eyes since forever
I have Hypersomnia. I have to sleep 14 hrs a day. its robbing me of life. When I"m awake
I feel extremely sleepy. Newvidgil helps some however I've gotten use to it. Please work on a solution to help people suffering this. I want my life back. Work, family, recreation, all gone.
How are you now?
Get well soon
I'm alone I come home from work eat sleep then clean a bit and again sleep 😟
Snow White singles problems😬
Idiopathic Hypersomnia?
Go out m8
I sleep when im sad
Your not Alone
I sleep 10-12 hours a night usually 11 hours a night. I often also take 2 hour naps. The longest I slept in 24 hours was 16 hours of sleep. Every day I'm still tired including the 16 hour sleep day.
A doctor said that woman should sleep 10 hrs a day bc of their hormones. Man can get away with 6-8 hrs. Maybe u can find it, I saw it on youtube. So when I saw that I was happy to hear that bc I also sleep10-11 hrs.
Recently I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia which my doctor said is probably a factor to me sleeping well over 12 hours a night and still tired during the day… get your iron levels checked out!
I take Prozac every day and Clonidine at night and I usually go to bed at 8pm and wake up 7 but continue to sleep the entire morning so that’s 15-16 hrs sleep on average, I’m trying to stay more motivated and alert through meditation, exercise and yoga etc. I also suffer from anxiety and depression
How you doing these days?
Me too. I once slept for 22 hrs straight. I got up to go to the bathroom only 3x. Once up I drank alot of water and ate. I fed my dog, took her put for a walk. I do a 15 min workout, shower, do some chores and I am fatigued again.
Seeing how many other people share this problem with me in the comments makes me want to look into this more. I wonder how long I could sleep if I just didn’t force myself to get out of bed.
If I have a nice, dark room, I will sleep about 11 hours before I feel like I should get out of bed due to laziness. Maybe I could sleep more than that??
I had this problem even before I was born, literally! My Mum told me that while heavily pregnant with me, I stopped moving or kicking for well over two days. Thinking I may have died in utero, she went to her doctor who listened for my heartbeat and assured her I was fine - just sleeping heavily. It's very depilitating.
I dont feel like you should feel ashamed, whatever works for you works for you 😊
Mark awww so you were like that in your mums belly. Cute. I got to this video because of not sleeping too much but not being able to wake up for work.
@@interests1094 So you don't sleep too much, but can't get up for work. Is this because you would prefer to oversleep/stay in bed? How many hours (of sleep) do you normally get?
@@sovereigngodlisaloves9525 Thanks for reply. I solved my problem.
How wonderful… awww ❤
Watching this video after 'sleeping in' until 7pm
This is me I have slept for 2 whole weeks in my summer and " I said I was still tired."
I have always felt very sleepy. Hate to get out of bed and I get in early and still wake up exhausted. I take no pills at all. Good a good diet and am not overweight
For years.... I woke up after 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Still tremendously tired!!!
Turned out... I was not breathing we ll when in deep sleep.... The breathing machine a brought has changed my life. I had no idea my quality of life had fallen so
interesting
I get 12 to 13 hours of sleep on average because i stay up until 3:00 am -_-

why you do something like that
20 hours a day. Exhausted. Not immune to stimulants though. Was awake for a long time, 9 days a stretch, when taking speed many years ago. But yeah, life is tough right now. I have an amazing girlfriend, supportive family, my own place but can't say I want to be alive. It can be very painful, lots of anxiety. Wish it was something physical but seems doubtful. Don't really know though because the health care in the UK is a bit of a disaster. It's good for emergency treatment, good in that everyone can be treated the same. But anything else or much else and it's years spent on waiting lists. Literally years.
Dang.......
Why don’t you just put a alarm and go out of bed
My man is a koala
I've had many many days where the only time I was awake for for eating and going to bathroom.
Once I eat food in next five minutes my eyes starts to get heavy then I have uncontrollable sleep now it's like I almost sleep 14-15 hours a day. I always have headache and I don't feel like doing anything.
If I had no wife to tell at me I would probably not take bath days on end so that I can sleep
Diabetes
Gotta shower, take a bath, brush your teeth & change your clothes....You don't want to get a bacterial infection. Or just sit on a plastic stool in the shower and let the cool to warm water help wake you up for 10 mins.
Im unemployed. I stay up very late and sleep 10 hours daily. I feel so exhausted and tired all the time
Train your brain just like, as if it was an errant child. And teach it to self soorh
It is far more complicated than that, but if this can help the person awesome. But usually there are other issues than an overstimulated brain. Sometimes hormonal. Sometimes it's levels in general. Sometimes it is the brain. other times it's the nerves. Sleeping and dreaming are one of the many things we do not understand. I would avoid medications of any kind for sleep. They're often more dangerous than expected. As someone who can go 9 days without sleep, or sleep for two days straight, is someone who is always tired, it's hard. Most people have NO IDEA or frame of reference for these disorders. They do not have it extreme, but I would love for other people to experience not sleeping for days or weeks, or sleeping excessively. Maybe then people would have better appreciation for what I am personally going through and my own energy levels. unless you're suffering from a similar condition you just won't understand. @@treefrog123a
I have this problem and i think it’s getting worse,before i used to go to bed at 5am and wake up at 2pm so i decided to change the routine sleep early wake up early then i ended up sleeping 11pm and waking up at 5am then at noon i feel sleepy then i go to sleep until 6pm, then i sleep again at 12am and wake up 5am…these past few days i been sleeping the whole night whole day i don’t like being like this.
Sleep is the most peaceful thing in the world❤. I just love sleeping.
Rarely have trouble waking up, trouble falling asleep.Cut coffee, NO pop at all. Switching to silk pillow case,if it ever gets here. Ordered silk eye masks...men wear them too...I am not over weight, eat very little ,if any junk food,watch my salt.
Me watching this after 17 hours of sleep 0_0

I used to have trouble sleeping but now I can actually feel tired and get good sleep and it makes me feel like it’s not a good thing
I knew it.......i feel so sluggish when i sleep too much,heavy breathing,big appetite, memory fog
I use to be like this and I never accepted it. It took years of trying different things but changed my diet and problem solved. I just feel extremely bad for ppl who ACCEPT being tired all the time and say they love sleep to me that is close to suicide why would why would love sleep more than reality? You don’t love sleep you just escaping reality
May I ask what did you change your diet to?
@@Mark-Smeaton all my life I had low energy. Ofcourse I use to drink coffee and energy drinks and then I seen vegans talk about high energy I mainly just stopped eating meat cheese and pasta things that clog your arteries and slow your blood flow and drinks smoothies eat salads over night oats jack fruit salmon occasionally .It’s a lot deeper than that but I never get sleepy even when I’m goin to sleep and I don’t need to sleep as much I never get sleepy in the middle of the day and need a nap no matter how physically active my day is and I clean climb roofs and clean gutters all day everyday. And my focus is through the roof.
No I love sleep
Thats what I love about it, sleeping is like death without the consequences
@@octane8872 I love how you put that. That’s exactly why I sleep so much.
I was staying awake for 2 days then 3 days i was sleeping 3-4 hours then 1 day 6 hours and one more day 12 hours i feel like i am dreaming i am trying to remeber if i am sleeping or not i forgot sometimes i feel afraid, i feel stress and also bored.
I...got to bed at 3:00 pm and i woke up at 9:00 pm....and i slept at 9:30 pm and...i woke up at 6:55 am...i sleep too much and im scared i never wake up again like last time i slept at 5:00 pm and i woke up at 8:00 am...
Danilyn Romero Francia lol dam
It’s me I sleep all night and day, cancer pain meds and the only time I’m pain free is asleep waiting on surgery hopefully life will one day be a better story to tell and a better day to live
Hope ur good man 💚
@@wavxy7454 thanks man I’m holding as strong as I can mentally and physically
My day consists of having a pot of coffee, taking a shower , getting dressed and going back to bed. I sleep all day but can't sleep at night
Hi, maybe try to stay up a night until 6 pm, and fall asleep this should make up for the sleep depth and get you to wake up earlier. Then when you wake up do jumping jacks or running to boost your cortisol to fully wake you up instead of coffee. Drinking coffee under 90minutes after waking up will make you tired as soon as the caffeine hits it's halftime. Hope this helps!
You just have your days and nights mixed up like new borns often do?????????
Stop all stimulants, put your body in time out if it refuses night sleep (take away all sensory perseption for six to eight hours every night)
Circadian rhythm disorder. I have it too but it's too isolating. Try switching to a schedule where you get up by 1pm so that you can get some little things done. You can go to sleep at 10pm. Also, to reset your Circadian rhythm it is important to go outside within 30 mins upon awakening without sunglasses for just 5-10 mins. Even just sitting there doing nothing. No sunglasses though bc the natural sun needs to hit your eyes. After doing this for 2 to 3 wks you can reset yourself. A Dr told me to also go outside right before sunset & watch sunset. Afterwards just go to sleep and get up earlier the next day. And open your blinds right away after getting up.
The need for sleep has robbed me of a good life. Im so sad and im only 33
I always sleep and when I'm not sleep I'm always tired yesterday I went to sleep at 4pm and woke up at 5am for school and I was still really tired
It's Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, , Idiopathic Hypersomnia, Major Depressive Disorder, Sleep Apnea or Long Covid. Please go to a Sleep Dr. And do a Sleep Test overnite in a Medical Clinic. They could diagnose you and be able to treat you once they find the proper diagnosis. Blood tests from your dr can also show anemia, low white cells, mononucleosis, vit B deficiency, vit D deficiency, etc. Chiropractic can also help. I set 3 alarms too. Going back to bed now.
Sleeping around the clock is a sudden change for me. Example: went to ER yesterday after a series of falls. I slept through x-rays, CT, etc. Tests showed no brain injury. One doc gave me modafinal a few months ago. I was awake for 2 days. Then back to sleeping. Any helpful information would be appreciated. I didn't get the COVID shots.
Don't get the shots.... MANY who have regret getting them. 🥺
John 3:16 🙏
Could be your meds reacting but most probable is low dopamine.and over producing serotonin this happens a lot in orolonged stress situations and often occompanies later stages of ptsd and or early over stimulation.
@@treefrog123a turns out it was untreated sleep apnea. Still waiting for a CPAP.
I sleep 13-14 hours on work days 19-21 hours on days off
Nah bruh I'm always tired
I think can be for apnea, anemia, depression....
My whole life i slept a lot ....I think it depends of every person the fact we are different doesn't mean we have a problem i think
Exactly, we are all different yet the world wants us to all fit in the same box. People who believe this are nuts. Just like some people are supposed to be fat. They get stomach stapling and start looking sick until they actually do become sick and die.
I sleep all fckin day
That’s me. I sleep 10-14 hours and always groggy. I feel drugged but I have NASH so I’ve blamed it on my liver.
The beginning of 2024 I had two bad nights of sleep, one of them i had 0 hours. I slept for 8 hours for 3 days and i still didn’t feel right so i thought I could counter my sleep debt by sleeping for 9-11 hours of sleep. I’ve been over sleeping for 2 weeks and symptoms got worse. I went back to 7-8 hours and in 4 days my symptoms went away. Thankfully I changed my sleep back to normal because I’ve possibly could’ve been hospitalized soon.
Looking at this and still feel sleeping after 8 hrs sleeping
So what are the dangers of sleeping too much ? No one answered this question !!!
In college I was always tired and in chronic pain and working at the same time as an independent student ufffff the worst
I sleep to much:(
I sleep until I'm fully rested. I sleep until I can't sleep no more.
Something is wrong with (many) people who can't get enough sleep no matter what, including with me!!
My friend is like this I want to help her lol she acts like I’m the crazy one but if I was doin something super weird or unhealthy she’d say something too
A whole lot of nothing said here as usual in these kinds of articles from mainstream news agencies. The "danger" of sleeping too much was never even pointed out.
I sleep all the time. I think it is because I am a caregiver to my LRT. I used to have a lot of energy but now my days consist of going to the the ER and his doctors every other day. I am bored to death. He never wants to go anywhere. Every day he has some new ailment
Okay well this is a super misleading title no? The title says "the dangers of Sleeping too much". But the video is really about "The dangers of having a disorder causing excessive sleep needs". This video provides no evidence why a normal person would suffer from sleeping a large amount at all.
I get more then 8 hours sleep every day. I can sleep up to 14 hours some days. Plus I am sick so I am always sleepy at the moment.

BETTER TO SLEEP THAN INSOMNIA
I hate the continual stress of living. I'm glad I can sleep a lot especially now that I'm retired. There is more excitement in my dreams than my life, although having no dreams works fine for me too.
I'm hoping I die in my sleep... soon. The sentiments of many, I'm sure.
I slep 12 hrs every day
People with Insomnia are probably really jealous all though it seems like the other side of the same coin.
if I sleep all night I will sleep all day too😴 if I could but unfortunately you know that there's always work work work work:)
I sleep for more than 10 hours a day and the rest i spent in bed😅😅

I am having the same problem but what is the solution? Every medical report is ok. Which doctor should I meet?
I'm not a doctor myself & I'm no expert, but too much sleep is as bad as not getting enough sleep.
SleEp* is more* *important* than anything else*
What is the name of this substance in the spinal canal that causes sleepiness? I can’t find it on Google.
i have this problem AND when im doing a job i get tired quickly by sleeping to much does it help me gain more weight
I can sleep 17 hours get up for 6 hours and back to sleep for 2 hours and up for four and sleep for 10 hour again. it sucks
When i was sleeping i felt that i cant wake up
lol i just cant fix myself ive been like that for a while now i dont know how to stop im not doing anything but sleep😣
Meanwhile me who want sleep 10 hours but gets only 5 hourz of slesp
Vit B complex, B12, Ashwaganda, Ginseng, Maca, coffee help me. I also have taken small amounts of Nuvigil or Provigil as well which don't amp you up they make you super alert. I only take 1/4 of a tab. You will wake up and be productive but you need a dr prescription for it. I don't take all of these all at once of course. Upon awakening I take two tiny B12 sublinguals under my tongue which melt and dissolve in 1 min. They work quickly & I can usually wake up faster and get out of bed. I think we could have Sleeping Beauty disease.

I'm not like that my friend loves to sleep a lot I love to stay up in bed lol
I love to sleep
I dont agree with "experts." I don't believe it's right diagnosing an entire population of individual people with this and that and saying if you do this, you have that. Lebron James abd Rodger Federer sleep 10-12 hours a day. I sleep about 9. I feel great. There are a lot of stresses during the day and a lot of responsibilities I have to deal with. I happen to need around 9 hours some days to reset my body. I listen to my own body and not "experts" trying to make blanket statement when they don't know ME.
yea, do sleep experiments and u will know
I sleep 16 hrs, not sleeping but lying on bed
why
I sleep 9-10 hours a night and I wake up feeling so tired. I thought maybe I was over sleeping but even if I sleep 6-8 hours I am still exhausted
try experiments with your sleep and find out which works very best for you
