Why am I sleepy and tired, even after getting enough sleep?
Firstly, everyone has individual sleep needs, so although you may suspect you are getting enough sleep you may actually need more! Some adults find they function best when getting up to 9 hours per night, so this is something to consider.
Next, although you are spending enough time asleep, the quality of your sleep may not be optimal. This may be disrupted by dietary factors such as alcohol, caffeine or eating or drinking liquids late at night, stress and also exposure to light. Try and ensure you are exposed to natural light within half an hour of waking and for at least 30 minutes (preferably outdoors if possible).
Also ensure your bedroom is dark when you go to bed at night, and try to head to bed and wake at the same time each morning, even on weekends.
Our sleep advisor Marianna has some good tips on how to create a good sleep routine on our Sleep hub.
Nutrient deficiencies can also contribute to sleepiness. A simple blood test with your doctor can help identify any nutrient deficiencies, or taking a course of our Balance Mineral Drink may be helpful in the meantime.
Always visit your doctor if symptoms persist.
