Does anyone in the group sleep lots as I sleep at night then again during the day I’m confused as to why I’m sleeping so much and concerned

What do you consider lots of sleep? How old are you? Do you work, have hobbies, children and a family? When is the last time you had your labs checked to be sure everything is in good balance? What kind of diet do you follow? Do you exercise? Do you have any diagnosed medical conditions or take medications?

I sleep at night 7 hours then during the day I sleep 3/4 hours which I’m concerned about I have no kids I exercise 2/3 times a week I work part time and I’m tired n sertaline and mirtazapine

[HealthBuddyMelissa in reply to Phil2]

Does 3/4 hours mean three quarters of an hour or 3 to 4 hours? How long have you been on those medications, and have they been increased recently?

[Phil2 in reply to HealthBuddyMelissa]

3or 4 hours a sleep for during the day and 7 hours at night and not been increase in my meds

[HealthBuddyMelissa in reply to Phil2]

I believe those are side effects for those particular medications. Do you take at bedtime? I would research both of them and see what side effects they have esp for issues such as low iron, etc, then talk to your doctor about how to correct it. Are you sure you are tired, or possibly bored, or lonely/depressed? Just some things to think about.
