I cannot even tell you the last time i felt rested! It does not matter how much sleep i get, im always "hung over" feeling when i wake in the morning! The only time i feel rested is, if i sleep for about 12 hours, and believe me that has been years ago!!! It's frusterating........it takes me awhile to fall asleep.......then im out like a light! I may wake 1 time during the night-----should i be concerned about this??? Or do you think i just require alot more sleep than the norm?

That's funny you mention that, my sister and I were just discussing that, how we wake up with hangovers (we DON'T drink). I go through periods where I feel like I dont get enough rest. Sometimes I need 10 hrs, sometimes 8...it just sounds like your not sleeping soundly. Do you exercise? Are you on medications? Do you drink caffeine before bed like even a few hrs?
I dont know, I have had sleep problems my whole life. Once, two weeks ago, I woke up feeling really well rested...it was the first times in years!!! It was wonderful. But if anyone else out there has the secret...do share!

For the past 6 months i havent been on any med's.........prior to that.....oh for about 15 years i was on many different anti depressnats. Maybe depression can play a role. I only drink caffeine in the AM and i exersise 6 days a week. I take vitamin's, and every time i have taken blood for low iron etc, it comes back perfect! Ya, i dont drink either............but i swear when i wake in the mornings i sure feel like i have " tied one on"! Sure is frusterating.....thanxs for your reply.............
