Hey,
Since you’re still sleepy after 8–9 hours, this could be more than tiredness sometimes it’s due to sleep disorders, low vitamin levels, thyroid, or even depression. Please don’t start medicines on your own. The safest step is to see a doctor for tests and a sleep evaluation. Meanwhile, keep a fixed sleep–wake time, limit caffeine after evening, and get short daylight walks. Your body is asking for help listen to it.
Next Steps
Sleep diary – track your sleep hours, naps, energy levels, and mood for 2 weeks. This gives clear patterns
Daytime activation – short walks in sunlight, small breaks during work, avoid long daytime naps.
Mental health screening – assess for depression or anxiety that can cause fatigue and low motivation.
Therapy if needed – CBT can help restructure low-energy patterns and improve focus at work.
Health Tips
Try this: wake up same time daily, step into sunlight first thing, keep meals light and regular, move your body at least 15 minutes, cut long naps, and switch off screens an hour before bed. If tiredness stays, get blood tests and a sleep check

Hi,
Feeling constant daytime sleepiness despite sleeping 8–9 hours can be due to several reasons such as poor sleep quality (sleep apnea, restless legs), thyroid or vitamin deficiencies, depression, or lifestyle factors. Medicines alone may not solve the problem until the cause is identified.
Next Steps
1. Consult a physician for evaluation - tests like thyroid profile, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and sleep study (if snoring/poor sleep quality) may be needed.
2. Maintain regular sleep - wake timings, avoid late-night screen use, caffeine, or heavy meals before bed.
3. Include daily exercise, balanced diet, and adequate hydration.
4. If low mood, loss of interest, or lack of motivation persist, consider consulting a psychiatrist to rule out depression.

Health Tips
1. Avoid starting stimulant or sleeping medicines without medical supervision - they can worsen the problem.
2. Try keeping a sleep diary (bedtime, wake-up time, naps, energy levels) to share with your doctor.
3. Treating the root cause will improve both energy and focus, not just temporarily mask the symptoms.

Daytime sleepiness despite adequate hours of sleep can be related to poor sleep quality, stress, lifestyle imbalance or underlying conditions; improving routine, physical activity, and mental focus techniques can gradually restore concentration and motivation.
Next Steps
I recommend consulting me for counselling sessions to manage this effectively.

The Two Minute Mind is an excellent exercise for developing concentration.
Simply stare at the second hand on your wristwatch for two minutes and think about nothing else for that time.
At first your mind will wander but after 21 days of practice, your attention will not wave during the routine.
Thatâs it. No more Complexities.
One of the greatest qualities a person can develop to ensure his success is the ability to focus for extended periods of time. Learn to build up your concentration muscles and no task will be too difficult for you.
Thanks
