Why you're still tired after getting 8 hours of sleep

You're exhausted despite getting a full night's sleep. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Experts say if you wake up tired, even if after a full night's rest, you're probably not getting enough deep sleep, which is vital for re-energizing. Several factors can be involved, including disorders like sleep apnea, or chronic pain and depression. #WakeUpCLT

When I sleep 6 hours I feel great. When I try and sleep earlier and get 8 hours I end up wanting more sleep lol

[gokugaming]

I feel tired after 8 hrs of sleep but yesterday I accidentally slept for 2 hrs and almost had a rebirth 😂 That's the power of deep sleep.

After 11 years of not sleeping deep sleep I thought you get tired and you get more energy after you sleep

When I sleep and wake up, I literally want to go back to sleep.
When I pull an all nighter, I literally feel more energized and stay up for longer.

College just started I'm trying to give my body enough sleep but I'm still tired😑

Is it normal for a kid? I usually go to sleep at 8:30pm (sometimes 9:00pm) and wake up at 7:00am, but in the afternoon my eyes can barely stay awake (sometimes burn) and I yawn a lot.

I think it's cos I started working 50 hours a week recently and my body and mind just can't handle it.

[ninknink]

It’s the school days that I’m tired if I don’t have school that day. I can pull a all nighter, and be more energized.

So why was it that therecordholderof staying awake slept like 14 hours and then again other 12? Why is it that when I swim 2 hours my body takes days to be fully recovered?

[ninjapirate]

[tontsxg]

[Will-xlxp]

Diet and excercise and sleeping early waking earlier every single day is the key to feel well rested

[minarabegum]

Occasionally, eyes cant open so i have to find the sink to actually wash my eyes to see.
