Why are you even more tired after you get too much sleep?

No matter how much sleep I get, I'm still tired. Why am I so tired?

• The past two or three weeks, I have been sleeping constantly. More then usual. I could sleep anywhere from 6-11hrs one night, wake up and feel even more tired then I did before i fell asleep. I try to wake myself up, but am just so physically exhausted that I sleep the majority of the day. And I am still completely exhausted and ready for more sleep. At school too, I struggle keeping awake, and everytime I get home, I sleep for at least three hours. Even that though, I am tired 2 hours later and end up falling asleep really early. I don't know if this is normal? And i don't know what to do. I haven't felt fully awake in more than 3 weeks. Help me! I am so tired of sleeping. *And I know that you can be tired from sleeping too much, but I feel like that isn't the case this time.

  Get a check-up at your doctor. You could have anemia or mono or depression.
