Wake up all puffy and so on

[Matx]

When i wake up my face is usually really puffy.. eyes look weird and so on, a shower usually fixes it but i dont have time. This will happen if i sleep anywhere from 8 to 14 hours so it isnt lack of sleep. People tell me i look tired a lot to... even if im not.. wahts up with that?

maybe, maybe not...morning puffiness (something called myxedema) is one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism. As is looking extremely tired and drained. You may be too young for this, it's unlikely since you are a male, but you never know....ZI would talk to your doctor about this. It could also be water retention due to a high sodium diet, but that doesn't jibe with the "looking tired" bit.

Couldn't it be from too much sleep? 14 hours is a LONG time.

i think i exaggerating a bit its just mainly around my eyes.. i definetly dont have hypothyroidism heh. It really isnt that bad, i also feel very dehydrated when i wake up every morning.
