am i normal? i still feel sleepy after 8 hours sleep per day.. do anyone has this problem also? and how others overcome this? impossbile to sleep more for me, have to work leh...

Besides the number of hours of sleep, you need to look at your diet and exercise regime too.

Agree with Goliath... try to get more exercise and eat more fruit ya.....

i admit i seldom exercise...but i eat fruit everyday oh.... is it becoz of body health's problem or what?

I'm not sure about this. How about your food intake? Exercise more.

i ate like others lo... 3-4 meals per day... normal outside foods... working ma..

I dunno whether u might find this interesting or not but..


You can read more about the research here.

IMO it's not the amount of sleep, it's the sleep quality itself.

For me, a good mattress & and comfy pillows always do the trick. And oh i usually sleep for about 7 hours or so.

Good luck with yours!

the posture of your sleeping also take counts and also the type of your pillow
mayb u cud try to massage the back of ur neck

sleeping for 8 hours and getting 8 hours of real, non-interrupted sleep is totally different ler.....

Sleeping aint just physically sleeping...

U need to let go of your stress and anger....

Only then u will have a good sleep.

(i mean your prob with ur gf)

i read some article...the reason we feel sleepy especially during working hour/school is because our body temp has decreased...so if u go out do some exercise and increase the body temp, might not feel sleepy 1 ... but i try before...no use for me

I had the same problem as urs few years back....So i changed on my diet ( eat more vegie n fruits), cut down my online(msn)time:P and it seems better.

3 months ago I jut joined YOGA and it really helps....

Depends on the time as well,if you sleep at 3 in the morning it wont do you no good if you wake up at 11, try sleeping earlier say 10 or 11. And drink lots of fluid and stay out of sleeping in the evenings,afternoon naps refreshens you.

slow metabolism can cause one to need more sleep. Drink warm water to temporarily increase metabolism and instantly get fresh.

Water should be drank regularly by everyone. The amount of people who actually drink enough water everyday (especially for hot Malaysia) are so few as compared to everyone we see.

warm water helps to boost metabolism temporarily, and doing so causes you to be awake. Replaces coffee.

Also, do some jogging. It helps overcome the tiredness.
