EXCESSIVE SLEEP

2021-06-27 09:34:44
I am sleeping 11-12 hrs in a day. Why is it so? My Hb levels are normal. I am suffering from subclincal hypothyroidism but doctors say that this isn't the cause of my oversleeping. What can be the cause of my oversleeping? How should I get rid of this oversleeping? Any medicines to keep my body active ?

Are you constipated also? Any intolerance to cold?any similar history in the family? .Take fibre rich diet.and exercise regularly. For atleast 30 min a day.check your vit d3 levels. Excessive sleepiness can be due to thyroid insufficiency..because your basalmetabolic rate gets slowed down and you feel sleepy.keep checking you thyroid levels once in 3months.
