Do you find that when you get too much sleep you are MORE tired afterward than when you get too little?

I had less than five hours sleep two nights ago, and I had a great, highly caffeinated day afterward. I had nine hours sleep last night and my brain won't work after two hours of trying to wake up.

Yes that can often happen that way. I have always put it down to the central heating coming on early and the room being stuffy upon my awakening.

@pennynoodles I think it's "a thing". It seems to be experienced by several people.

Yes. Also shorter work weeks are nore tiring than long ones.

@Mamapolo2016 Now THAT I didn't know. My work weeks were always about the same length.

@Mamapolo2016 Ohhh. Well, it's more tiring when you try to do a mini-vacation and then you have to go back to work.

I'm the same mostly I get by on about 4 - 5 hrs sleep a night. When I can sleep longer I feel sluggish all day.

its a vicious circle, unhealth can lead to too much sleep but sleep can't heal if we are so unhealthy.
