: Persistence sleepiness I kept on observing it. If I sleep for 6-7 hours, I will feel sleepy all throughout the day. I tried sleeping 11pm for a change, then I woke up 9am. I still feel sleepy. I can't work on my homeworks

First, if you have concerns about your health, you need to go to your doctor. Assuming that your doctor says that this isn't due to some disease, then it's reasonable to assume that you need more sleep; 6 to 7 hours isn't all that much. If you don't want to feel sleepy, you'll need about 8 hours of sleep and a bit more if you are below the age of 25. Most people who say that they need only 6 hours of sleep actually need more sleep, but they are better than average at tolerating the effects of sleep deprivation. Recent research showed that The activity of hundreds of genes was altered when people's sleep was cut to less than six hours a day for a week . So, you're better of feeling sleepy if you sleep less than 8 hours so that you are forced to sleep more.
