CAN over CAN

Answer 1

You can over sleep. It's possible. Oversleeping or not sleeping properly in some way can be a sign of a sleep disorder. If you "oversleep" or have a "sleep hangover" often then you should definitely look into it.

Search the web first for problems and solutions similar to yours. If anyone is around you while you sleep, ask him/her if you snore a lot, snore loudly, stop breathing, choke, move around a lot, or do anything else other than sleep soundly. Have you ever known anyone who "sleeps like a rock" and wakes up totally refreshed in the morning? We should all be able to do that but some of us need to have our sleep disorders corrected.

Proper sleep is vital to good health. It is during deep sleep that the body produces its own, natural repair hormones, known as HGH (human growth hormone). Without these self produced hormones your body cannot live to its fullest, no matter how much exercise, proper nutrition, or positive attitude you have. Improper sleep robs you of your ultimate self.

As you can tell I am quite passionate about my answer and I would like to say why to provide a pertinent example of how important proper sleep is: I suffered, mostly unknowingly, with sleep apnea for over 47 years. I have been using a continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) device for four months and just had surgery to correct my deviated septum and blocked nasal passages (my blockage was severe). I can't tell you what a difference they make in my life now, the CPAP and the surgery. I feel refreshed in the morning and do not feel sleepy during the day. And I do not have any more "sleep hangovers." Finally, my sleep apnea had become so bad that I often woke up with my whole body aching, due to a lack of oxygen in my blood. That has been resolved as well.

The answer for you might just be a better mattress, more exercise, reading yourself to sleep, less food/drinking before bed, weight loss, or some other simple solution. Or it might entail a sleep analysis test, leading to a CPAP and surgery, as it did for me. Whatever it ends up being, start investigating now. The sooner you resolve this the better off and happier you will be. In my case, resolving my sleep disorder relieved me of the guilt of always feeling lazy, thinking I had some sort of chronic fatigue syndrome, frequent irritability, needing to sleep during the day, body aches, etc, etc.

Good luck and I wish you the best. Please share this answer with anyone else you suspect may have a sleeping disorder.
