I sleep 16 hours a day, What is wrong? ?!


Question: I sleep 16 hours a day, What is wrong!? !?
I have been sleeping nonstop lately, I sleep 10 hours then I end up taking a 6 hour nap in the middle of the day!. I think i may be depressed, im 16 and my mom found my pot, so it is kind of akward around her and she keeps making comments like i have no future and i wont go to college, even though i am an honors student in the top 8 percent of my class!. I dont know what to do or how to fix my problem!. I cant smoke pot anymore even though I barely did, only 5 times so it isnt withdrawl!. My mom is always angry, this is the first time she has a reason to be but she didnt ground me or take anything away which makes it worse because I dont know if/ how im in trouble!. Sorry for rambling just say anything about the situation!. 10 pointsWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I think your mom is the problem, tell her that she shouldn't put so much pressure on you because it's making you depressed!.
No one knows what they want to do with there lives at 16, she shouldn't put you down like that, trying pot is normal at that age!.!.!.!.!.!.
it could be a worse drug!

The more you sleep, the more you crave sleep!. You just need to train your body to sleep less by finding something else to do!. Do something that involves moving around!. I have been in this type of rut before and yes depression can contribute to it because it is easier to sleep than to be worried or depressed!. You still have to get out of the cycle or you will get more depressed because you feel lazy!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is possible that it is depression!. But it is also possible that you have a lack of protein in your diet!. Ask your Mom to make you a doctors appointment!. Then when you go have her wait in the waiting room, that way you can talk to your doctor about anything that you need to!.

Pot makes you tired and so does depression so that's why I switched to smoking meth!. (Just kidding!.!) My sleep record is 18 hours strait!. Pot I did for many years but now that I'm older I feel it only makes you not be as good as you can!. Now that I'm clean I'm kicking as!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should talk to your mom, I know it's brutal but it's the only way for either of you to understand each other!. Chances are she smoked when she was your age!. You could be depressed but you should just talk about what's going on, the only way to understand it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could have a virus!.!.or be low in iron!. This happens to all of us at times!. Try a vitamin/mineral supplement that has iron in it!. I don't think you are depressed, rather your body is going through it's natural changes, and this is the result!. It won't last!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to be depressed and sleep ALOT after a bad breakup!. To me, it was the only way to cope with my problems!. If I was hidden in my dark nest (my bed), no one could judge me and I wouldn't have to face the realities of the real world!. You most likely are depressed and sleeping too much won't help you one bit, just like it didn't help me!. I became sluggish and gained weight!.!.!.which led to more and more depression!. Instead, hit the gym!!! Get motivated and prove your mom wrong that your not an idiot!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Excessive sleep is a sign of clinical depression, and your home life certainly suggests it!. I would talk to your school counselor about getting some help!.

Other signs of clinical depression:
-Excessive thoughs about death or self harm
-Wishing you could disappear so that others would miss you or suffer from your absence!.
-Lack of motivation
-No longer finding joy in hobbies
-Reduced social interaction, or making excuses to get out of social situations!.
-Reduced sexual drive
-Feelings of extreme helplessness!.

If you suffer from more than 2 of these on top of your sleeping, you need to seek help for depression!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

pot can make you sleepy!!! But if you are no longer smoking than i am not sure why you need that much sleep!.

Could it be that you have just got into the ruitine of sleeping that long and than have nap in afternoon!.

Your mum is probably angry becuase she is worried about you!.

when your not at school do you do anything to keep busy!?!?!?

It sounds to be that your body has just got used to having all that sleep!.

You need to snap your body out of it!.

Maybe start with no sleep in afternoon!.

Keep yourself busy even if it means helping out your mum around the house or going for walk or bike ride!. Fresh air will help so you dont feel sleepy!. maybe even go for a swim!.

Try this for a while!! even if you find yourself going to bed a little earlier still make sure you have no more than 10 - 11hrs sleep!.

so for e!.g if you go to sleep around 8!.30 set your alarm for 6!.30 - 7!.00am get up have a shower this will help you wake up!.

Some people do need more sleep than others but not as much as you are having!.

Do you drink caffeine as sometimes this can have reversed affect on people and instead of keeping you awake can make you sleepy!.

Another thing to think of is, are you eating right!?!?!? 3 meals a day etc!.

Maybe having a small snack etc in the afternoon will help keep you going or anything with sugar in it!.( works for me)

If you try all this and your still having trouble you may want to talk to a doctor or atleast your mum!. This way she knows you want help!.

I do hope this helps!.


good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

youve hit the nail on the head, your depressed!.
your mum is allowed to be angry at you if she raised you not to do that kind of thing!. let her fume for a few months!. i hope you have already apologised because it is no good that pot!. especially if you are as intellegent as you say you are, dont screw it all up with drugs!. But your mum saying you have no future etc, is really really bad!. that is not true!. she is speaking out of hurt and anger!. because her daughter smoking pot says something about her parenting!. she feels like she didnt do good enough!. like all her hard work raising you has turned to s*it and proved itself useless!. She probably feels like a failure as a mother and is angry at you for making her feel that way!. not to mention the fact that she is extremely aware of the percentage of college drop outs when drugs get involved!. she is really worried about you!. you need to have a good long chat with her!.!.

the more you sleep, the more youll want to sleep, and its a downwards spiral!. force yourself up!. set your alarm and only allow for one hours nap in the middle of the day!. no more!. Go to a doctor, if its something like chronic fatige they can give you medication!. Get some form of exerscise into your routine, exerscise improves mood, makes you sleep better and gives you confidence!. Dont isolate yourself, make sure your seeing friends or at least chatting to them on the phone!. the worst thing a depressed person can do is shut out from the world, which is easy to do!.

the only person who can pull you out of depression is you!. Nobody else will be able to, not family, not friends, not even councellors, because youll only hear what you want to hear!.

if you try to sort things out with your mum youll probably start to feel alot better!.

Good luck my friend, will be praying for you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i normally only get about 5 or 6 hours of sleep per night so anytime i sleep more than my normal amount i cant seem to wake up good and tend to keep falling back asleep, which could very well be the reason you slept so much!.

dont be depressed, you are still in school and if you are in honors and in the top 8% of your class you mom has a lot to be proud of!. She was most likely saying those things out of anger!. Try not to do anything that could in any way possible upset your mom until the dust settles, then after things have settled a little bit sit down with your mom where it can be just you and her and have a talk with her, let her know you are sorry and that you understand why she is angry!.

That always seemed to work with my mom when we got in arguments!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hmm u might be depressed!. i know a lot of ppl might say that ur mom has all the right to be mad at u n well she is but try to find something to else to so u wont be sad or depressed!.!.!. i tell u something online games like WoW r better than smoking pot!. my bro in law smokes pot n im livin with him its messin him up, he can sleep for hoursss! yes the guy is very smart and was a good student but id rather him playin games online than smokin pot!.!.!. just get outa bed n do something sooner or later ur mom is gonna let go!.!.!. thats my opinion!. u r in trouble n the only thing u can ismake things better for u n ur mom!. some might say that weed is better than cigars but seriously! do u want to spend money on something that makes u feel better for a minute, hide it from ur mom and now look at u!.!.!.u r sad n sleepin all da, besides ur young!! enjoy life!.!.!. u can smoke weed later in life haha Www@Answer-Health@Com
