why is being overtired a thing? why isn’t the body grateful for the extra sleep?
In: Biology
If you are referring to sleeping too much, you can wake from sleeping too long with a kind of “sleep hangover” (headache, lethargy, dehydration, hunger) but you can also wake not feeling well if you interrupt a sleep cycle (sleep less than an increment of about 1.5 hours) as your body is not ready to wake. Some points in a sleep cycle are like coming up for “air” while sleeping. You get closer to wakefulness and then sink away from it again. Could either of these be what you are talking about. source: I’m a person who sleeps and spends way too much time researching better ways to do it.
