Why am I so sleepy all the time?

I am 16 and I want to know why I am so sleepy all of the time. I usually go to bed at about 10:30 P.M. or 11:00 P.M. o’clock, and get up at 5:30 A.M. for school. I am always sleepy throughout the day and ready for a nap at lunch time. When I get home I go to my room lay down and sleep untill about 7:30 or 8. I don’t want to be sleepy all the time but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong so that I can feel awake.

Answer #1

you need atleast 8 to 9 hours of sleep before you’ve had enough each night. try going to bed at 9:00-9:30PM instead.

Answer #2

maybe because you sleep too early…try going to bed at 12am and waking up at 7am, I doubt you would be tried by lunch time…or I dont really know, maybe it depends on your school time and distance or whatever.

Answer #3

ummm maybe you are anemic (anemia lack of hemoglobin in your blood) maybe you should go do some blood tests , I had the same problem but I was way past the stage of puberty that happened whrn I was 18 maybe , if you are anemic I consider you eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of grape juice good luck :)

Answer #4

it is may be because your are growing, teens are more sleepy because when they are sleeping there bodies grow faster

Answer #5

its becoz you dont get enough sleep! im a mom and my 16 year old goes to sleep and 9:30 and wakes up at 7:30. when she goes to sleep at 11:30 to 12:00 and wakes up at 3:30 (because shes at/holding a sleepover) she is tired by lunch time. GET MORE SLEEP!! thanx xx
