Sleeping 12-16 hours a night but i still feel tired, what else could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prevention: Being tired all the time may indicated sleep problems that can be life shortening or life threatening. If apnea is involved, oxygen desaturation during sleep puts tremedous stress on the major organs, particularly your brain and heart. The only way to know if there are serious problems is with an overnight sleep test. I encourage you to seek help.
