Yet, it's a known fact that a very common side effect of all sorts of pills is excessive tiredness. About the effect of "chemo and radio", well, it sounds logical. That's really all I can say. <strong>I wish you a fast and complete recovery and the best of health.</strong> Sorry Charles, but I’m not a Doctor.

Could pills such as the above be the cause of my oversleeping? I am told that oversleeping may also be a long-term effect of chemo and radio...? How true is this ?

It's quite commong for me to sleep for 10 hours on work days (not getting up until the last minute to get to work on time) and sometimes even longer on days off from work. In fact, the other day, which was a day off from work, I slept for about 15 hours straight. I don't usually have to exert myself that much at all at work, but there is one problem that may be a factor; a high calcium level in my blood testing. My doctor had my parathyroid tested due to the calcium, but that came back normal. Also, in November 2008 I remember inexplicably starting to have this problem. It seems like it just hit me out of no where. Before then, I used to be able to sleep for 8 hours and be quite well-rested. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Hello,

However, I know how hard it can be to go to sleep early. It's something I sometimes struggle with myself... From time to time I'd work on the PC until late and then watch TV for 2-3 hours before I go to sleep. I won't oversleep, but I'd wake up tired and then tell myself that I won't do it again (which lasts some time until my next glitch). Some suggest setting a bedtime alarm - to tell you to go to sleep. That's an idea, but I don't think it would work for me personally. I'd say it all comes down to goals and motivation. You need to convince yourself that if you sleep well and wake up early you will be more energetic, happier, healthier and also more succesful as result. Was that helpful? People, any other ideas?

I think I have a sleeping problem... I am 20 years old, I was in university last year but got academically excluded and i think one of the reasons i failed was that i was oversleeping. I did study a fair amount of times, sometimes even resorting to working all night and sleeping around 0500 in the morning to wake up at 7 for exams. It just wasn't my year, I know that I could have passed had I put a few more extra hours, but sleep really screwed me over. I once however slept around 2300 and woke up around 4, I needed to sort out my study visa and I told myself I had to get up early and I did. Now that i think about it, I always tell myself that i want to wake up early but I usually still sleep in, I usually sleep around midnight but end up waking up around 7 and sometimes 8. I really want to cut down to 5-6 hours a day so I can study more as I am applying for universities for September/October and I want to prepare and discipline myself so I won't encounter the same problem again. I have a problem of sleeping through the alarm, especially if i sleep past midnight(which i sometimes do stay up till 0200). I am aware that this may attribute to the problem but is there any other advice you can give me, I think that maybe the main thing i need to do is have a phase shift, to start sleeping at 2200 so I can wake up around 0600/0700 by default.

How long do you sleep? What time do you go to sleep and what time do you wake up? Do you remember a time when you used to sleep less? What was different then? Do you drink? Do you take any medications? Do you smoke? If you tell me the answer to those questions I might be able to be more helpful. However, answering these questions for yourself might help as well.

I execise for 30-40 mins per day, and i only eat healthy foods. i still need to sleep in every morning and i have lost countless jobs because i sleep in. i simply dont hear the alarm. I think my subconscious wants me to sleep in because i am anxious about work maybe. i dunno, whether its weekend weekday, day or night i just want to sleep. i'm even tired now. hi, im a lazy lazy bum who cant get up because i cant be arsed. i want to get up and be productive but im just too lazy. everytime i wake up it is freezing cold and i just want to hibernate. if i wake up early i feel dizzy and have a fuzzy feeling in my head. i need to sleep all day.
