I got 8 hrs and 36 minutes of sleep last night and my Fitbit told me I only woke up once and was restless 11 times for a minute or so... WHY am I still exhausted when I wake up?

Depends on what you were doing during that 11 minutes 🙂

 

Seriously though, if you sleep with a light on - it will effect you (see "blue light" studies).

Also, stress (physical or mental) will cause one to feel tired - and some people just need

more sleep. Depending on the person and age, anything from 6 to 10 hours is "normal".

I had similar symptoms (could "sleep" for HOURS, but still be horribly fatigued the next day). Went to the doc, who sent me to a sleep study. Turned out, though I was "sleeping". I was never entering REM. as soon as I'd start to go into REM, I'd "wake", just not consciously. I'm a night shifter. It was explained to me' because my schedule is so wonky, my body/mind no longer understands when it's supposed to be awake or when it's supposed to be sleeping. I'd make an appointment with the doc if I were you; might be more going on there.
