I need to know what I should do. Im a 19 year old male who is 6ft1 and weighs 150lbs. No matter what i do I cant focus on my homework, and I am constantly tired everyday. I sleep for 11-12 hours a night because I cant get up, and Im still tired when I am awake. It takes +400mg of caffeine a day to get me by with out wanting to lay down.

Hello
Welcome here.
You have problems of hypersomnia and lack of concentration.
I have some suggestions for your problems:
1. Practice regular yoga or exercises to keep yourself active.
2. Increase fruits in your diet and avoid fats. Fats make you lazy.
3. Keep solving puzzles and if possible, involve in outdoor games.
4. There drugs like modafinil(prescription drug) which are stimulants and keep your mind alert. These can also help.

Visit your doctor for further treatment.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
