I have this sleeping probelm it's like iam always tired even though I go to bed at 9:00pm and wake up about 6:00am in the morning to get ready for school and even though thats about 9 hours of sleep each night and that's how much sleep iam suppose to get and last night I went to bed at 8:00pm and I was still tired all day at school today and I was wondering why i've been so tired lately what should I do?

Do you exercise at least 30 minutes a day?
Do you eat fruits and vegetables?
If you answer no or sometimes to either of those then you should work on getting some exercise and eating healthy food. I'm not a doctor, or anything close to it, but you need a balance of nutrition, physical/mental health and sleep to have sufficient energy.
Finally, are you under much pressure? Stress can cause you to waste energy/sleep lightly even if you don't know it. Take a couple of minutes each day to exercise, meditate, read, write, have a bubble bath or any activity which will clear your mind and leave you feeling more relaxed.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask me and I will help as much as I can.

He gets about 12 hours of sleep but is always tired still! so then he goes back to sleep and gets about 2 extra hours in... so he sleeps maybe 14 hours a day!!! he used to play hockey but now he's graduated high school, so he doesnt play anymore. So maybe if you try to exercise more and sleep less... you will be better.
