I think I have something wrong with me when I sleep.
I dunno, I lie there in bed for a while, and then I lose consciousness for about 11 hours.
I really like to sleep, but I also like being awake for more than half of a day.
Whats wrong with me.

I eat a lot of fried foods and burgers and steak, but I also eat a ton of sushi and whatever else is lying around, two meals a day or whenever I'm hungry.
I'm about 115 lbs. I get my exercise rock climbing. I drink lots of everything but I'm always feel like I'm more thirsty than hungry.

Whats wrong with me.

Edit: Why is this here this needs to go on general discussion.

See a doctor? They do recommend eating three or four smaller meals a day, rather than a couple large meals, you know. Also, you might wanna cut down on the fried foods. And I dunno what the "everything" is that you're drinking, but if it's soda, you might want to cut down on that. Water is the best. I don't think that stuff would cause the problem you're having though, it's just general advice. So yeah, see a doctor.

I second seeing a doctor -- as awesome as we are, I don't think we can help with this. Unless there IS a doctor in the house.

sleeping for 11 hours at a time isnt necessarily bad
try setting your alarm for +8 hours
if you feel fatigued you might have an iron deficiency
take some iron supplements regularly and see if your 'condition' improves
otherwise just see a doctor or search web md

Stress does this.

Greasy, fatty foods in high amounts do this.

Eating shortly before going to be does this.

Being lazy does this.

Undersleeping does this.

Oversleeping does this.

Lack of sunlight does this.

Lack of activity does this.

You're an average teen, if you don't want to sleep half the day away, eat a bit more healthy, and avoid eating 2-3 hours before bedtime. Set your alarm for 8 hours and don't be a baby about throwing yourself out of the bed and getting the hell up. If you really don't like sleeping when you could be doing other shit, work your way down to 5-6 hours. I sleep about 4-5 on an average day, 2-3 on days where I don't have to be very active (aka work).

See your doctor.

From personal experience, you will likely be requested to change your diet. Refined sugars and fatty/greasy/salty foods are not good for anyone.

This sounds unhealthy. Current studies show that the average person should have between seven to eight hours of sleep in a twenty-four hour period. While this number varies by person, getting more or less then this optimal range drastically decreases one's day-to-day energy and can lead to further health problems. Source.

They've done studies over the last couple years suggesting that 6 hours of sleep is actually better and showing that on average, people who sleep 6 vs 8 hours have longer lifespans. (this is probably more due to the fact that people who sleep 6 hours and have the daily energy they need live healthier lifestyles though).

Sleep is basically like dieting though, what works for some, won't work for others. I sleep, like I said, about 4-5, and have plenty of energy for 6-10 hour days of labor. If you try 6 or less hours and don't have the energy to make it through the day, then you may need to adjust your lifestyle to be more healthy. If it still doesn't work, then obviously 8 hours is what you need.

Is this why you're a grumpy, judgmental, annoying, sad sack all the time, Blues?  :-*

Nope, that's just because the internet is full of idiots I don't have to play the bullshit niceties game with.

I'd start with the "drinking everything" bit. I'm no doctor, but my guess is alcohol poisoning.

I've tried beer, hate it. Not gonna lie.
Now those polynesians really know how to make drinks ha ha.
But in all seriosity, I drink those vitamin waters, water, maybe a soda once every 3 days. Maybe.

It makes me mad that I piss out all the water I drink.

Lets see, today I had a Latte, an egg sandvich, General Tso's Chicken, a sprite, a vitamin water, and thats it.
I also went climbing for 3 hours. Had about 9 hours of sleep.

I feel good.

I have 2 meals, my definition of a meal is...

at least a 6" sub, at most a steak and everything that should come with it.
Or a burger. Yum.

What don't you get about immigrant parents from Taiwan. We can't afford that shit. Even in Canada.

I want to make a comic really bad, but I CANT I USED TO JUST DO IT. I feel like KC Green in that I really want to draw something, but I just end up tapping my tablet a dozen times.

Yes, I suppose those would be good reasons for writer's block as well, but I was referring to the sleep thing.

Do you wake up in the middle of the night needing to use the bathroom or needing massive amounts of liquid?  If thats so then it could be diabetes.  Doesn't sound like thats it but some of the symptoms add up

My brother had some of the symptoms you had, the fatigue part and always thirsty.  He was also waking up in the middle of the night to get drinks of water and to use the bathroom.  On our 21st birthday they took my bro to the doctor and they told him he had type 1 diabetes.

It can come out of nowhere and since everyone else recommended Web MD I thought to throw something out there.
