Anyone else tired even after sleeping 9 hours? 😵‍💫😵‍💫

It’s the strangest thing, there are nights when I get a “full” 9 hours of sleep, and instead of waking up refreshed, I actually feel more exhausted. I’ll go to bed drained, sleep all night, and somehow wake up even groggier than when I fell asleep. By the time evening comes, I’m just as tired (if not more).

What’s even weirder is that sometimes I can run on 4–5 hours of sleep and wake up with no problem at all. It’s like the deeper I fall into that REM cycle, the harder it is for my body to come back out of it. Almost as if my system completely shuts down and needs even more energy to reboot.

Can anyone else relate to this? Or is it just me who feels more exhausted the more I sleep?

You need the REM cycles. What’s likely happening is you’re not getting as deep into it as you think. Ask your doctor for a sleep study it might help answer the questions you have. Sleep is very important to our minds and bodies. So when you’re not sleeping it’s important to find out why.

Anyone else tired even after sleeping 9 hours?

Besties, I don’t know what’s going on but lately I’ve been sleeping 8–9 hours and still feel like I ran a marathon the second I wake up 😮‍💨 By the time night comes, I’m even more exhausted. I’m starting to wonder… is this just stress, bad sleep quality, or something deeper like vitamins/iron/etc?
