artluvr09 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Does anyone feel worse when they sleep in? I normally wake up at 8:30 or earlier. But for some reason today I slept in until 9:15! All day I have been feeling miserable! Very foggy, lightheaded and very tired. I seem to feel better during the day when I wake up at 6:30-8 am.

lewis Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Ya I feel worse when sleeping in. Always gives me that hungover feeling. Excersizing usually brings me out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaevne Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I think it has to do with dehydration. Your body spending 10+ hours fasting will dehydrate you and give you all of the hallmark symptoms of dehydration. I'd Try chugging a sports drink or pedialyte before sleeping in.

Amalia01 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I agree that it may have something to do with dehydration as well. The heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer can cause you to become even more dehydrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinB Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I get like this too. The more I sleep the harder it is to get out of bed. Dizziness and heart rate are much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statesof Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Same here, sleeping in always makes me feel more hungover throughout the day, even if it is just that one extra hour of sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katyroq Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 My POTS symptoms seem better when I don't get enough sleep. After diagnosis about 2 months ago I have let myself sleep as much as I want...9+ hours per night, except one day a week when I teach early & only get 6 or 7 hrs. Invariably my POTS symptoms arent as bad that day,even though I stand a lot and am teaching all day until 5:30. It does wear me out and take a day or so to recover but during the busy day I feel better. Could this have to do with adrenaline? One thing is I doubt I am dehydrated overnight as i am extremely thirsty and wake up to drink (and eliminate) water 2-3 times and sometimes consume 32 oz overnight.
