oversleeping too much :c

I always always always have at least 12 hours of sleep.
I usually wake up exactly 12 hours after I've gone to sleep, but then I can sleep for another 6-8 hours.
I don't know what this is; I can just sleep and sleep and sleep - even when I'm not tired.

I don't like it :/
I want to go out and do things but I just sleep my days away
Because I do this, I'm incredibly lethargic all the time which just makes me want to sleep more.
it's a horrible cycle

Sleep is good for health but too much sleep may also bad for health. 6-8 hours sleep is enough for a day. But if you can able to control it then concern any counselor.They will help you in this case. I think do exercise after wake up or go for running. It will keep you active and fresh.

I know I definitely have bad health because of all of my sleep.
I want to get up and exercise everyday but I don't know, I always end up sleeping or find it just too hard to get up and stay awake
But i will try It's going to be hard but I have to persevere lol

Tayola, I realize your post was from awhile back but.......

Have you considered having a sleep study? It is possible you may have sleep apnea or other medical issues. Consider 1st going in to see your regular doctor to rule out thyroid issues, etc. Also, are you on any meds that might cause fatigue, sleepiness,etc? I have a similar prob w/ hypersomnia I was diagnosed w/ sleep apnea 11 yrs ago and now sleep w/ a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine. It helped immensely since my apnea was pretty severe so I wasn't getting into the deeper stages of sleep. I still cant go a night w/out wearing the machine but I still can sleep 12 plus hrs a night if I didnt need to be up for work, etc. So on my days off, I feel like crap after oversleeping. Partially for reasons of guilt. Makes me feel like a lazy bum But it is a vicious circle regarding getting up and moving or staying active. When you lay around all day, you feel even more tired and less motivated.....i know, easier said than done. But once you get the ball rolling as far as exercising it becomes easier. "You must expend energy to get energy." So exercising gives you more energy, not less. Sure, you're tired afterwards...physically, but wide away mentally and the great chemicals (endorphins) are a nice legal drug Coffee is a great cup of motivation too. Good luck and keep us posted.
