What could it mean if I am sleeping too much?

Does this happen a lot with you? How restful is your sleep? If you find this continuing to be a problem, discuss it with your doctor, to rule out any sleep disorders.

It could mean that your brain gets too tired during the day and needs more sleep. It could be an indication of depression, too.

You may be depressed. Your body feels that you are sad and refuse to do anything but sleep, because sleep is an escape from reality.

You could be showing symptoms for depression but I'll leave that to a professional to give you a proper diagnosis. Maybe you haven't been getting enough sleep and your body is just trying to catch up from being sleep-deprived.

This can be based off a variety of things, for instance it can be caused by depression, stress, over-eating, or lack of physical exertion. Over sleepin can be caused from all of this because the release of these hormones can cause your body to start to shut down and “tire” much easier than an everyday person who isn’t experiencing the same feelings. Either way, seeking a medical professional can be and usually is the best answer to truly understand your specific reasonings.

It’s depression and must find way to think and to change time of sleeping and food diet and daily habit

Sleeping too much could mean anything, including not much at all! A single change is rarely enough to tell what might be wrong. If your sleeping habits are worrying you, and you are struggling to change them, it may be worth mentioning them to your GP, who is likely to ask you further questions to determine what might be a problem, or whether it's nothing to worry about at all :). Hope this helps!

You could be stressed, or hurt. (Hurting; not physically though 😉) When you sleep, your brain takes the time to heal itself. Your body gets reenergised for the next day . But in some cases, say a lot has been going on, your brain takes extra time. Expecially if what’s been going on has been tiring. Or...if your depressed your body is healing. (I’m trying to explain it, but it’s hard 😂)

Sleeping too much could be a sign of many things, one of them being depression, and should definitely be assessed by a doctor or therapist. Sleeping too much could also be dietary, or other physical problems that should be assessed by a doctor.

It can mean that you have anemia, at the same time, it can mean that you are very sad, depressed, or have problems.

It could mean that you are sleep deprived and/or have a sleep disorder. Because 7 cups is a listening website and not a medical website, I recommend that you see a doctor.

Physically it could mean that you are lacking in protein, iron, or experiencing a physical illness such as thyroid or CFS which increases fatigue levels - all of which should be considered and tested for if you are experiencing excessive tiredness, to eliminate these possibilities. Psychologically sleeping too much or too little are both equally valid symptoms of depression, or anxiety if purposefully or unconsciously used as a method of avoiding anxiety provoking situations - in both instances the solution is seeking help, as the primary cause is not tiredness, but a deeper emotional problem, that much be addressed properly.

many physiological reasons, i.e. medications, medical conditions can be responsible. But if that’s not the case, then motivation is a key factor. It’s important to find your purpose, but finding a purpose is a step by step process. One of those steps begins way before finding that purpose... you must ask yourself, “what is it that I want out of life.” Once that is found, it time to ask another question, “why do I want this thing” and again i have often found it useful to ask again, “why do i want that 2nd thing,” And here is probably where you begin to find the root of what you love most about life; what it is that truly drives you and inspires you.

Maybe you are tired, try to do some stuff that makes you to leave your bed or maybe can be that you are sick, sometimes stress plays with our mind and can ruins our health, if you are anxious or maybe you are sad you need to avoid what makes you be in bed, try to do some sport or maybe go to the gym find a job sometimes to be busy is good because when you get home you will sleep but with one reason, leave you bed make an effort can I bet that you will be better.

You could be showing signs of depression. Or this could be your natural habits; it depends on if this is a recent change or if this has been going on for years. I would also look at other factors, such as if you are sad or happy in your daily life. Do you use sleeping as an exit from your life or do you work a lot throughout the day? It’s important to answer these type of questions because you can find out more about yourself. A lot of times people who have been diagnosed with depression sleep a lot because they are emotionally exhausted.

It can mean a lot of things from iron levels in you blood being low to depression. But I suggest talking to your doc if you are worried.

The body is trying to repair itself and get the rest it’s been denied. But if a person regularly sleeping for long periods, it can be a symptom of something more serious like depression.There’s no doubt that getting enough sleep is a crucial part of a healthy lifestyle, but too much sleep can be a signal that there’s an underlying health issue. If you’re consistently sleeping more than 9 hours a night, or sleeping long amounts of time but not feeling rested, it’s a good idea to see your doctor. Talk with them about your symptoms and sleep habits. Keep a sleep journal and any notes on how you’ve been feeling, and bring these notes with you to the doctor’s appointment. This information can be helpful to your healthcare provider.

Sleep is one of our bodies main ways of healing and repairing and is an integral part of having a healthy body and mind. Sleeping too much can be a symptom of a wide variety of physical and mental health difficulties. We can commonly attribute it as a symptom of low mood, stress and anxiety. Perhaps you've even been working extra hard and your body feels a need to catch up! If you feel that sleeping too much is having a negative effect on your social, professional or personal life, it is important to seek professional opinion to help determine a cause and form a support or treatment plan that works for you. It is a common problem that you are not alone in.

Honestly, it could mean any number of things! It could be something that is medically going on or it could be something psychological that is going on. I have been diagnosed with depression, sleep apnea, and vitamin D deficiency, so it is literally a triple whammy of sleepiness! I still almost always feel tired towards the end of the day and given the opportunity on the weekend, I could sleep all day long. It could mean any of those things I mentioned above or any number of other things! My path led me to my doctor, my psychiatrist and lots of bloodwork and lots of trial and error.

Sometimes our bodies just need sleep, don't fight it too much unless it it interfering with your ability to carry out important daily tasks! Especially when we are younger and in a period of life where we are growing, our bodies require rest, and a lot of it! Sleeping too much can also be a sign of depression or other mental health struggles. Some medical issues also have the symptom of excessive tiredness and the need for a lot of rest. If it is something that is concerning you, I would urge you to speak with your doctor or other healthcare provider just to error on the side of caution.

If you are sleeping too much, it could possibly mean that you are pregnant. If this is the case, congratulations!!If you are not pregnant it could also mean you are depressed. If that’s the case you may want to seek help from a mental health professional. If you sleep too much, you could end up over- sleeping and that could make you tired. I was sleeping too much and that was one of many symptoms of depression I was experiencing. I went to a mental health professional and that is where I was diagnosed with seasonal depression.

Sleeping too much can mean several things. It could mean that you are not getting good sleep or that you have been staying up late and getting up early in the last few days. It could also mean you are developing depression or anxiety. These are more serious. If you notice that you have been feeling down or hopeless, eating too much or not enough, feeling more irritable, or loosing interest in activities you usually like, then you might be depressed. Talk to a doctor if possible about getting treatment or check out the 7Cups depression sub community. As for anxiety, if you have been feeling more anxious lately, feel as if something bad is going to happen, have more anxiety attacks than usual, or feel more stressed, then you might have an anxiety disorder. Talk to your doctor if possible about getting tested or check out the anxiety sub community here on 7Cups.

Sleeping a lot does not necessarily mean someone had a lack of sleep, was exhausted, or was sleepy. It can also be due to an effect of stress, depression, or a sleep disorder. Personally, I sleep 8-10 hours as my regular sleeping schedule. When tired, I sleep in more on the weekend until 14-15 hours. Others may see this as sleeping too much but this is my normal sleep. There could be other people who has similar sleep schedule. But I know when I sleep more than usual, it's not due to exhaustion but emotional stress and depression I previously faced and overcame.

It could mean you are depressed. You could be you are not getting enough sleep. It could mean you are not getting good quality sleep. It could mean you are not eating enough. Start tracking your habits. Maybe you are not getting enough exercise. Do you feel less energetic than usual? Are you happy? Do you get enough socialization? Are you stressed? Are you overworked? Do you have things to look forward to? Talk to a friend or family member. Take a break. Meditate. Try relaxation techniques. Practice grounding and mindfulness. Stand up for yourself. Be nice to yourself.

Sleeping too much can mean many things, but my guess as to what it could mean the most often is if your body is pleading for more rest. If you exercise more, your brain and body will require more rest to be able to heal from the work of the day. Also, if you eat a lot of food per meal, your body will go into a sort of food, when sleeping swears to digest the food before you awake in the morning. In the end, it is not bad to sleep, but not that great if you were sleeping more than is recommended. I mean a lot more, not just an hour or two. If you suffer from sleeping too much, I wish you luck in learning how to regulate your sleeping habits!

Sleeping too much could be a sign of depression. Because of the nature of depression, the lack of motivation causes the brain to produce chemicals that send signals to the body to sleep. It could also be a sign of stress. The body uses sleep as a recovery. Because stress is seen as an “illness” to the brain, signals are sent throughout the body to sleep in order to recover. Sleeping too much could also just simply mean you are becoming sick or you are over working yourself. But it can also be the product of medical conditions, so if you are sleeping so much that it impacts your day negatively, seeing your doctor is a good idea.
