I also cycle through hypersomnia - excessive sleeping. I'm in one of those cycles right now and sleeping as much as 16 hours a day. But, it is not refreshing, I'm just fatigued and weak. I wake up and intend to do something, but then wake up again 5 or 6 hours later. I'm hoping this is not the beginning of a new "exasperation." (One of my Cog Fog word mix-ups)

I need about 9-10 hours a night, and a cat nap during the day would help too. I get that much sleep on my days off generally, but on work nights I only get 6-7 hours. If I didn't work I know I'd be sleeping at least 9 hrs each night with a daily nap. I'm grateful that I can sleep, but wish I weren't so ruled by my fatigue.

The fatigue about kills me at work on the four days I'm there. On my days off, I take it easy during the day though I sleep a long time at night.

When I retire, I'm going to take a nap.

If I take a nap on the week-end, it messes me up for three days. Then I'm actually WORSE at work. I'm better off to try to hang on and get as much sleep at night as I can. I'm usually asleep by eight or so.

Of course this means not having a life, but I'll do that when I retire, also.
