Sleep
OK i go to bed at 10 and get up at 6:20, which is the average ammt of sleep needed for a 14 year old girl. But somehow, i am always so tired and have huge bags under my eyes. What could that be from? I dont do any activity before i go to bed and i dont have caffeine/sugar. Any ideas?

I have an idea that I think you should try. On a Friday night, go to bed at your regular 10:00, but don't set an alarm or have anyone wake you up. See what time you naturally wake up and figure out how many hours you were asleep for. Try it again on Saturday night and if the two amounts of time are similar, that's probably the amount of sleep you should be getting. This may not work for you, but I think it's worth the try. Others have suggested going to bed earlier. I don't know your schedule or what you do in the morning, but 6:20 sounds kind of early. Maybe you should try getting up a little later? When I go to bed an hour early it does nothing for me, but when I sleep in for an hour I feel great. You could take your showers in the afternoon or evening and have everything ready to go when you wake up. I know some girls spend a lot of time on makeup and hair and such, but I don't know if you are one of them. I'm not. I get up 15 minutes before I have to leave. I'm going to have to suggest that if you do spend a lot of time in front of the mirror in the morning, that you don't for a few days. Try sleeping in a little more and see what that does for you. I hope I helped and good luck, being tired really is a bummer.

The average for your age is around 9 hours but really that means jack. Everyone's different. I'm grouchy on less than 10 hours (12 if i can get it) and I'm 17. Some of my friends have to get only 6 or they get overtired from too much sleep and a few barely sleep at all and seem to function (somewhat) adequately as human beings.
Try increasing your sleep by and hour and if you still feel tired, another half hour/hour if you can. It's worth it.

If you exercise mor you would not be as tired so try and exercise plan and exercise about 3 times a week. I run on my tredmill about 2 times a week and after i run i feel great and you may want to try and eat healthy food too. hope i helped

Your body may need more than what's average. Try going to bed a little earlier and see if that works. If you're still tired after adding some sleep, you may want to consider visiting your family doctor for a checkup. Excessive tiredness even when you're getting enough rest could be a sign of an iron deficiency.

I didnt do the math, sorry. Im not much of a math person but i do know, your body may need more then "average amount" of sleep? You know, beacause im like that to, so maybe try going to sleep earlier. Beacause im 13, and i go to sleep at (usally) at 10 and i need to be up by 5:30. But i need to try out new bedtimes.. beacause mines not working, im always sleepy too. So i suggest maybe giving yourself another half hour see if that makes a difference, then if you dont go back to 9. bedtime, and wakeup times suck.
