Too Much Sleep - How Much Is Too Much?
Is it possible to have too much sleep?
Indeed it is and sleeping too long can make us as tired
and lethargic as having too little. If you wake up
tired after sleeping for eight hours or longer, more sleep
is not what you need.
Why do you still feel so tired
after all that sleep?
Too much sleep can weaken your sleep system. Your body is
not awake for long enough to absorb enough sunlight, get
enough exercise or partake of enough tiring activities.
Your body temperature takes a long time to climb to
normal in the morning making you very drowsy for several
hours after waking. In fact you body temperature may not
climb to its peak at all, so you may feel lethargic all day.
This is because excess melatonin that has been released by
keeping your eyes closed for a long time does not dissipate
quickly leaving you feeling drowsy and drained of energy.
Too much sleep can actually weaken your immune system
leading to lowered resistance to colds, flu or worse.
So what's to be done?
A better quality of sleep is what's needed rather than
more sleep. Sleep needs to be optimised so that you can
sleep a lot less and feel more energised and are actually
healthier. Quite often we don't get enough deep sleep even
when we are sleeping eight hours or more. Deep sleep is the
most important type of sleep out body needs.
One quick way to feel more energised during the day is to
do some exercise. This raises your body temperature and
wakes up your whole body. Your lungs will fill with healthy
oxygen. Get out into the sunlight if possible, this will
strengthen the sleep system and you'll be creating better
deeper sleep for yourself at night.
The worst thing you can do to try and wake yourself up is
to consume yet more coffee. You may get a quick energy boost
but too much coffee can have a disastrous effect on your sleep
system, stress levels and circadian rhythm.
Bright light therapy
Bright light therapy, sometimes known as phototherapy, is the use of
artificial light to bring your melatonin levels down when you get out of bed.
This helps to wake you up and increases your energy levels. Take care that the
light emitted from these devices contains no ultra violet light which can damage
the eyes. People with eye problems would also be wise to steer clear.
Bright light therapy is also used to help people with "Seasonal Affective
Disorder" (SAD) which can affect those who get depressed in the short dark days
of winter. Using bright light therapy also increases serotonin levels which
increases the feeling of well being. It has been established that people who
have SAD have low levels of serotonin - possibly through lack of sunlight. Those
affected by jet lag can also use bright light therapy to bring their circadian
rhythms back to normal after travelling through different time zones.

Polyphasic sleep is one method used by certain
people to dramatically cut their sleeping time, but is not recommended for long term use.
Here's a better option ....
I found this book on powerful sleep when writing this
site. I bought it to help my research hoping I'd find a few
things I could use. Well I found myself following it to the
letter and having a lot more time during the day and a lot
more energy to get things done.
"Thank You so much for your Powerful Sleep Program. Prior to studying and
following your program I took drugs to go to sleep, I would be knocked out for
10 hours, and I would awake feeling tired. Now I follow a few simple steps in
your program and I fall asleep naturally.
I am so happy to have my natural sleep pattern back, now I wake up easily and
refreshed. I never used to be able to relax at nap time with out some kind of
relaxation tape to listen to. Now I take short refreshing power naps and I wake
up refreshed. The steps in the program have also increased my overall health and
energy. Thank You Again."
