Sleep disorders, sleep enough hours but not getting rest from sleep?

Some problem: By definition if you are sleeping enough hours 7-8 and not feeling refreshed or tired there is a problem. It could very possibly be a sleep disorder but other things could be the problem as well. You need to have a detailed discussion with your doctor and possibly a work up for other causes and maybe a work up for a sleep disorder.

Sleep Disorder: If after adequate sleep, you still feel sleepy you need to usually rule out sleep apnea with a overnight in lab study and other sleep disorders. Medical exam and labs may also find causes.
