You might either be sleeping more than your body's requirement or less. Notice how well you're eating, as a factor too.

coffee! or an energy drink like lucozade etc.

Re: How to avoid feeling sleepy even after sleeping for 8 hrs?

I feel like that when I sleep too much. How about setting a sleeping pattern and sticking to it?

Try sleeping for 6 hours and see how you feel.

I think I should be doing that..that may help !

Re: How to avoid feeling sleepy even after sleeping for 8 hrs?

feeling lethargic and sleeping more than usual is probably a sign of inactivity and lack of exercise and yes food choices, no heavy meals right before bedtime should help.

Re: How to avoid feeling sleepy even after sleeping for 8 hrs?

Yup, like Reha said oversleeping can make you lethargic as well..

  • Try reducing an hour or two of sleep

  • Go for a brisk morning walk or jogging even if it's for 15-20 mins, nothing freshens you up more

  • If you normally shower before bed, move it to morning

  • Do have breakfast, an empty stomach can also cause fatigue/tiredness

  • If you do have breakfast already try not to take things that are too heavy(parathas etc..) instead use smoothie/cereals/toast etc ..something that is filling but not heavy.

When's your next checkup? Mention it to your doctor if you're feeling tired even after getting a full night's sleep. It may be some sort of nutritional deficiency or hormonal imbalance that can easily be corrected after a blood test to confirm and some vitamins to deal with it.

Sleeping more is actually good untill it doesnt become a habit.

I had the same problem, and the only thing that solved it was exercise, you also have to watch the amount of carbohydrates you take in. All I can say, eat well, and exercise. That is the only way you can combat it.

Actually I haveread that everyone needs adifferent amount of sleep. 8 hours is just the average. Some people need 5 hours of sleep while others need 9 hours. I personally need 9 and a half hours of sleep to not want to nap during the day.
