Tired of Sleeping Too Much?
I'm sure you know at least one person that sleeps 6 hours (or less), and never looks tired...
And what about you?
Hasn't there been a time in your life when you used to sleep less, and were more energetic than you are today?
And here's an interesting fact...
In a study, done by the University of California, it has been found that "People who sleep 8 hours or more have a 50% higher mortality (death) rate than people who sleep less."
Does this mean that if you sleep 8 hours or more you will die young?
Well, I wouldn't go that far... :-)
But what's important to realize is that it's possible that you sleep too much,
meaning - you sleep more than you really need to.
I used to sleep too much most of my life...
I can tell you from personal experience that it's actually possible to get more rest
and more energy by sleeping less.
If you're currently sleeping 8 hours or more, and you feel low on energy during the
day, it's not because you need more sleep. What you need is BETTER sleep.
But how do you know that you don't NEED that extra sleep?
Option 1: You feel it. After excessive sleep, you're not more refreshed and
energized. On the contrary, you're drowsy. Sometimes your head or your eyes
ache, you're dizzy, and you may even have trouble concentrating.
Option 2: You DO need that extra sleep, because you're not getting enough quality sleep.
Either way, if you sleep more than 8 hours a night, and you'd like to learn how you
could get the same amount of rest, if not more, by sleeping less...

Sir, I used to sleep 12 hours a day in summer vocation. After I get back the school, I always find it is difficult to concentrate during classes. I have tried to sleep more or sleep less but it doesn;t work. Even I try to open my eyes overnite to test whether how much I need to sleep, I can't find why I am so tired all the time. How can I have a quality sleep as well as I wanna be concentrated and energetic at my study and activites. Thanks so much

Lori, I'm happy to hear that. I hope no one has gotten the impression that I'm against sleeping 7-8 hours. It's definitely not 'oversleeping'.

I used to think I was a loser and completely unsavable when it came to being able to get up for work on time. Almost every job I had resulted in reviews that read, "Lori is a great worker, very talented, but only if she could get to work on time and be dependable." In my quest to get out of bed on time and stay on the happy side of the review process, I have learned one very important thing. I was focusing on the wrong end of the problem. I need 8 hours of sleep per night to function at my best. I have been basically sleep deprived since high school. Now at 43, I cut myself some slack and don't beat myself up over wanting more pillow time. When I go to bed on time (for me it's 11pm to 7am) and sleep consistently for a week (including the weekend), I get up easier, and I am less tired at work. If I stay up late on the weekends, then I am in for trouble during the work week. It's just that simple. I need good old fashioned sleep - imagine that! Thanks Rotem!

Hi Rotem,
I like the web-site a lot. But I need more concrete techniques and ways to really overcome over-sleeping. I don't have a wake-up early schedule every day, so if I don't work, I sleep, that's usually the way it is for me.
Thanks again for the awesome webste
