Excessive Sleepiness
I feel very sleepy and tired throughout the day even though I sleep around 10 PM and wake up at 6:30 AM. On weekends, I often feel like sleeping almost the entire day. Is this normal, or could there be an underlying reason for my excessive sleepiness? Should I get any tests done?

Daytime sleepiness despite 89 hours in bed usually means poor sleep quality or another cause, such as anemia, thyroid problems, medicines or sleep apnoea.
Please note any loud snoring, gasping, frequent awakenings or morning headaches, and keep regular sleep and wake times.
See a physician for examination and basic blood tests; do not drive if you are struggling to stay awake.
Book a Practo consult with me or visit Synergy Miraj so we can evaluate this properly.

You're getting enough hours of sleep already. Your ongoing daytime sleepiness and heavy weekend catch-up naps deserve a proper check, not just more rest.
Next Steps
Please get a basic blood workup, including thyroid, iron, and vitamin D levels, and discuss the pattern with a physician.
Health Tips
Don't write this off as just poor sleep hygiene until you've ruled out these other causes.
