text: why am i sleeping so much? for the past 2 months maybe, i have been going to bed at about midnight and waking up to get my husband off to work at about 6:45am and i fall back to sleep. i end up not waking up until 3:30pm on the dot everyday. when i wake up, i feel like i am light headed and groggy like you do whenever you take nighttime medicine the night before. this has only been going on since i quit my job. can anyone tell me what is wrong with me and tell me what i can do to stop this? i have trying going to bed earlier and staying up when he leaves. i am 110% sure that i am not pregnant. please help. sounds like depression to me. i have been diagnosed with bipolar a couple of years back... and for months at a time i feel sluggish, sleep tons and i am unmotivated... and some months i can get anything done and i don't like to sleep during those months.  i have a very mild form of bipolar.  but i know that during my down months it is hard to pull myself out of bed at all.  i don't necessarily feel "depressed" but my body sure does.  i can sleep for 12-15 hours a day during those times. i say the best thing to do is to contact your physician and find out if it is a physical or physiological.  another thing that i have found helpful is to improve you diet and exercise.  it really does give you so much extra energy.
