For the past couple weeks or so, I've noticed that I am REALLY tired.
Even on nights when I sleep well, I tend to find myself in class struggling to stay awake or even falling asleep.
When I get home from school, I also find myself falling asleep even though I did not intend to take a nap.
Other than that, I generally feel fine other than headaches that feel like 'sleep headaches' - you know, the kind you get when you haven't slept.
I fall asleep around 10:30 at night and get up at about 6 every day, which seems like plenty of sleep.
Any idea why I may be feeling like this? Are there any medical concerns with this -- like could this be a symptom of an illness even though no others are present? (link)

Well if you're a teen, the answer is simple. Your body is growing and consuming a lot of energy. If not, it could be your bed. Maybe comfort is an issue here.
I have the same problem, though, I have been staying up until 4-5 on weekends since I was about 10 so I am used to it now on weekday when I need to get some reasonable sleep.
Though I try to fall asleep at 1030, it never works out. I find my self still laying there trying to sleep at 1130, even 12 and beyond.
Some nights I do get a reasonable amount of sleep though. The reason I feel more tired, I believe is because of a term called "sleep debt" where you body loses sleep and then when you get a chance to recoup, you're even more tired.
I can't tell you if there is such a thing as sleep debt, though. Just something I personally believe in.

This really didn't answer my question, but it was a well thought out answer. Thank you.
