Why is my brain suboptimal unless i slept 10 hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep needs vary: The amount of sleep needed may vary from person to person, but if less than required, you could have daytime hypersomnia, cognitive issues, depression, or even migraine headaches. A little curious about your 10 hr need as that might suggest a less efficient slow wave portion of your sleep pattern. Might be reassuring to get overnight sleep study and assess whether sleep apnea could be a problem.
