Why have I been so tired lately?!
Question: I feel like I have no time to do anything anymore. In my spare time all I do is sleep. I am 15 years old and I'm kind of worried. I sleep in school too. I will sleep in school, and then when i get home at 2 i will sleep until like 6 and then have dinner, and then sleep again and then wake up at 7 the next morning? Should I see a doctor or is this normal?

It can be anemia. Have a blood test.
when I was that age I did the same thing.It's ok,dont worry about it.
If your worried about it have your parents take you to see a doctor and have some blood test run just to be on the safe side. If he says nothing is wrong then no more worries.
I went through that when I was at my last growing spurt that I can recall. It took about a year to finally normalize out. I hate to state the obvious, but maybe you are just completely bored. Seriously.
I don't know, I think it's normal. I remember that when I was 14 it happened to me, too, but not to this extent. Maybe you should speak to your mom and go see a doctor anyway. And try to eat more vegetables and fruits.

Well it does sound like you are sleeping alot. This is very common if you are growing. If you are really worried, go to a doctor, but it sounds like it is okay.
I believe that sleep hormones are really active as a teenager. I did the same thing. I'm going through it right now and im 16. So just go with it..it will pass.
There was a post earlier about getting some blood work done. I would recommend it, this sounds like an Iron-Deficiency. I am not a doctor, but my wife went through this when she was pregnant with our son. Get the blood work done. You can usually go to a WIC office and have your blood tested for iron levels.
