What are the reasons for over sleeping? I need to sleep for about 10 hours a day. Is it a symptom of something?

You know they have a name for everything, and the name for over sleeping is called hypersomnia. Have you brought this to the attention of your family doctor? The mosty common causes are that you don’t sleep well when you do go to sleep because of snoring or excessive sweating.It can be caused because of bad habits, emotional issues or outside conditions – things like stress, poor nutrition, shift work or a noisy environment, bordum or lack of motivation.

Etc... First,I would talk to your family doctor about this. Next, I would start to train yourself to sleep less, I have a link to help you with this. And last, I would work on changing your diet.

You can never go wrong with a healthy diet. I have included a website to help eating for energy. Diet doesn't mean loose weight, as you will see.

When you eat better, you feel better! You get a much more restful sleep. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure that would qualify as oversleeping, unless you wake up more exhausted than you should. Personally, when left to my own devices (and excluding my cat, who has decided to meow out of lonliness at my door at 5am every morning) my sleeping schedule is about ten hours. I can sleep about seven or eight and feel fine, but naturally my body sleeps ten.

I don't think this is unnatural for me, as I don't feel overtired or wake up and then force myself to go back to sleep, it's just my body's natural rhythm. Some people can walk around having had four hours of sleep or less, and some people need ten - I think it's just a difference in our bodies.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
