Why do I desire to sleep so much?

There are a lot of reasons that could influence your sleep patterns. You really have to get a doctors diagnosis for a real answer. Sometimes, depression can make us sleep more or less than we're used to because we've lost interest in other things. Or there are a variety of illnesses like chronic fatigue syndrome that can make us feel drowsy. The short answer is that only a doctor can really tell you what's going on for sure.

It could be diet or exercise related. You could be getting too much sleep. Maybe you're suffering from anxiety or depression.

Sometimes sleep can make our bodies more tired. I am a firm believer in exercise. Exercise not only re-energises the body but also the mind.

Because sleep offers us an escape. An escape from the world, from our worries and the challenges. We feel so tired with whats the world burdened with us that we tend to resort to sleep as a form of therapy.

There are many reasons. It could be a sign of depression in the worst case or you just aren’t getting enough sleep. You should probably see a doctor if you feel so.

Sometimes people become very tired and fatigued because of depression or other stresses going on in their lives.

It could be because of your depression, or it could be because of another mental disorder, such as narcolepsy

It's probably to take off your mind of whatever is going in your life (or brain). You want some time not to think about your problems and be fine, okay. I had like the same problem and now I don't. Consider if you are depressed or something like that, talk to someone, it will help trust me.

Always best to check this out with a medical professional to make sure there is no underlying physical cause. Stress can wear you out because your brain goes into overdrive and needs rest. Another way to rest the brain is meditation and yoga and to practice gratitude. Confiding in friends helps, also make sure you are eating right and exercising.

This is because I have so much work to do and after all that work is done, I need to take the load and stress off and just relax most of the time! That’s why I desire sleep so much. Other times, it’s a mechanism I use to basically just get away from the world and all it’s stress and have some peaceful time of my own. I also desire sleep when I need a proper rejuvenation of my mind and my body. When I feel very week and tired, I just sleep for a bit and wake up feeling stronger than ever!
