You could allow yourself to sleep longer on set days e.g the weekend and get up at a normal time on the other days ? Remind yourself its okay to sleep and you need rest use the time you are awake productively and do things you enjoy If you want to talk it through further please connect to a listener 😊

You remind yourself that rest is needed for productivity. Once you are able to sleep comfortably without feeling guilty, you won’t sleep as much. Never put yourself down for rest. You have to always uplift every aspect about yourself even when you are tired and need rest. You can not let yourself feel guilty for a natural function and for your way of coping when feeling overwhelmed. Whenever I feel like I’m sleeping too much, I make note of it but I don’t beat myself up about it. I try to figure out what may be causing me to sleep in and I work from there.

Get out of bed and take a 10 minute walk. Then do the same thing tomorrow. Once you've done that for a few days. make it 30 minutes. Make it 45. Make it 3 times a week. Exercise is magic.

Your body needs sleep to survive. In order to be your best self, you need to be properly rested each and every day. Sleep when you need and also make sure to fulfill your other needs - put on a new change of clothes, take a walk outside, eat something nutritious, talk to someone you love. Life is about balance and getting enough sleep to where your body is satisfied is incredibly important.

Sleeping is a vital part of human life, and can be very beneficial to us. Over-sleeping can sometimes be caused by anxiety or depression, so it is important to consider this when deciding how to move forward with the issue.

you just have to think that if you are sleeping then your body must need it to properly work (some people need more than the "average" amount of sleep) and you should never feel guilty or have to apologise for taking care of yourself but try not to let it interfere with your life duties

If you're getting a healthy 8-10 hrs of sleep a night, then you're definitely doing it right! And if you're taking naps during the day, there's nothing wrong with that either. However, there -is- such a thing as sleeping too much. Consider speaking with doctor if you feel like you're sleeping too much throughout the day, or are experiencing chronic fatigue.

feeling guilty about sleeping so much is at some point good to have.stress about anything is good and bad..it alerts you open your eyes to actually see whats going on but also in severe stressful situations is one of the worst things to have.So,,to stop feeling guilty you actually have to cure the problem no its symptom(feeling guilty).Your best bet is to make a program for yourself listing the activities and hours,how you want to live your life.(in your current state not what you want to be).Start by taking little steps and do some exercise that will help you get friends support etc.If the problem youre dealing with is depression then another kind of solution is preferable like consulting a doctor.

Think about your sleeping in a different way, you aren’t wasting time, you’re doing what you need to for you’re health. You are doing what is necessary for your body to function. Everyone has different needs, some need to eat more, some need more physical activity, and you need more sleep!
