Too much sleep disorder??

Hi,

I have always loved sleep. I can sleep standing, sitting, lying down and any which way. I sleep on the way to work on the train and always home on the train too.

After dinner, i tend to not sit on the couch and watch telly as that is when my a*se hits the couch i sleep. I am always doing things, so i don't sit and then sleep.

I am sick and tired of wanting to sleep. i don't do anything exhaustive during the day. I can't spend quality time with DH when the kids go to bed as i am usually in bed before them! My bedtime is probably 9pm-10pm. I would so love to stay up until 11pm with DH. I wake up at 6.15am,get ready for work and leave at about 6.45am.

I am truly thinking of going to the dr about it. All you hear about sleep disorders is the lack of, i want to sleep majority of the time. I am wanting to sleep my life away.

Do you know of anyone like me and if there is some kind of treatment?

Maybe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Or low iron levels? I'm ALWAYS tired because of the PCOS - my body doens't burn carbs or sugars for energy, they just turn straight to fat :(

Probably worth going to the doc about, as he can run blood tests for you. Maybe an underactive thyroid? The possibilities are endless.....

Hope you get an answer soon hun :hug:

Do you do much physical exercise?

I've got PCOS too.

I haven't been doing much physical activity lately, say for the last 3 months. I've been very naughty and not hitting the gym as i used to. But even then, i'd sleep easily.

It runs in the family, dad's side really. The uncles that i know on dad's side plus dad, all can sleep a lot like me. My uncle who passed away used to just nod off on the couch whilst sitting and watching telly.

I guess its best if i see a dr about it. I am so over it. I look forward to weekends so i can have a nanna sleep with DD.

Yeah, it be hard to say exactly why - I'd check out various levels at the Dr's too.
I'm tired lots too, but at least if I exercise I know it's the 'right' kind of tired. I hate exercise...

I'd get the usual run of tests (iron, calcium, etc) but i'd specifically ask to have your thyroid hormone levels checked too. Hypothyroidism can lead to excessive fatigue/sleep...

Good luck, hope you turn a corner soon

What about any history of sleep apnea? :asleep:That can make you sleepy through the day even though you think you've had a good sleep through the night. Although I thought that was more prevalent in men I guess no one ever said women don't get it.

Good luck hope you work it out:goodluck:
