You feel groggy and tired if you sleep to little or too much. Your sleeping too much. I have the same problem. But you need to be on a regular schedule so your not sleeping too much. When you wake up you will feel tired but get up and as days past by you will be normal. Try sleeping only 8-9 hours.

I used to have the same problem in college. I did not get enough sleep, and when I did, it was too much (mostly to catch up, or out of plain old laziness).
Your question has pretty much been answered, but there is one thing to add. Quality of sleep is often more important than quantity. If you are lying in bed tossing and turning for a couple hours, and only get five or six hours of good sleep, then the hours spent lying awake do not count. However, if you consistently get more than eight or nine hours of sound sleep- as you usually do- then you are getting too much sleep. Your body is too used to being asleep, and that can cause you to feel tired and run down all day.
It would help if I knew how old you are. Teenagers generally need more sleep than adults. The hours of sleep you need per night depend mostly on your age and lifestyle. It will be difficult for you to get out of your current sleep cycle at first, but once you do, you will feel so much better. Just try getting up earlier than usual, and force yourself to do something active, even a walk around the neighborhood. Try going to bed on time, and waking up early- and keep that routine. You will feel a lot healthier and more energized. And to add, eat well and make sure you get proper nutrition- that can also play a role in either making you feel tired and sluggish, or energized.
According to a search, teens need between 8 1/2 to 9 1/4 hours of sleep per night:

Did you ever think maybe you're getting TOO much sleep?
Try waking up earlier, that or exercising more if you aren't already.

You could try drinking coffee or something with sugar. I believe what you need to do is run or do something that will get your blood moving.

Like the person below said, if you're getting too much sleep, that can often make you even more tired.
Really, getting at least 7 hours of sleep is good, that is, if you take a 20-30 minute nap during the day.
So like I do, if you go out somewhere in the morning and get back around like 3 or 4 in the afternoon, take a nap when you get home for 20-30 minutes and set some sort of alarm, and then wake up. If you nap for like 40-60 minutes, it kind of defeats the purpose. A shorter nap is like a power nap, and I promise you'll feel really good after you wake up from it. I always like to wake up and get a big glass of water to wake me up, too ;]

Hey, there are alot of people with this type of problem so don't get too worried.
Working out (exercising) usually works the best to give you more energy. Although you will be tired the first few times you work out, in the long run exercising will give you more energy to stay up. So basically you won't need so much sleep.
Also, I know it sounds hard to believe, but getting too much sleep can also make you tired. Your body will just be so use to relaxing that when you actually have to do something it will say NO and want to go back to sleep, so you might want to watch how much you sleep in a night.
Also, you may want to check your eating habits. The more things that you eat that are good for you will also provide you with more energy. Fruits and vegetables are what they call "candy thats good for you". Basically, fruits and vegetables can provide your body with the same energy that candy/caffeine, but doesn't have the horrible crash later on in the day.
I hope these were the type of answers you were looking for =]
With Love,

There's a such thing as too much sleep. If you're a teen, you only need like 8-9 hours. When you get too much sleep, it makes you sleepy all day... which makes little sense, but it's true. Try going to bed at midnight and waking up at nine.

All you need is 7-8 hours of sleep a night. If you're still tired when you wake up you probably got too much sleep. Which is normal, and happens to my friends and I all the time. Ha. :D
