can having an iron deficiency/anaemia cause me to be able to sleep for long periods of time?
July 8th, 2010 by admin
i can sometimes sleep for a solid 16 hours even if i’m not that tired the previous night. if i sleep in, i don’t wake up until 12 hours after i initially went to sleep. can having an iron deficiency cause me to do this? if not, what does?
Yes my gf has slight anemia, it has gotten better but she gets tired a lot and goes to sleep early and even when she sleeps 8 or 9 hours she is still wakes up tired. Its frustrating but you have to practice better dieting and exercise, drink more water, eat some bananas, no smoking, and try taking some iron supplements.

Any kind of anemia can cause you to sleep too much. Try to deplete your iron deficiency, like eating black-strap molasses (the darkest kind).
