A member asked:

I feel so drowsy even when i get a lot of sleep. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Quality not quantity: Drowsiness despite getting "a lot of sleep" can be due poor quality of sleep. One feels most rested when they get good quality, deep, restful sleep. See your doctor as there can be many reasons why one gets sufficient quantity but insufficient quality of sleep.
