Are activity levels and sleep requirements linked?

Is it true that you wear yourself out?
I think I function best with 8 hours of sleep. But if I sit down I get sleepy almost immediately. If I stay up and moving about I’m wide awake and don’t feel tired.
If you are really active… Say you run a marathon. Do you need more sleep than usual before or after? If you exercise regularly and are always on the go, does your body need more sleep?
Why do I get sleepy when I sit still, regardless of how well rested I am? I can’t read a book or watch TV without nodding off. I get sleepy riding in a car or at the movies. But if I doze off I don’t stay asleep. I’ll toss and turn. That leads me to believe I’m getting enough sleep overall. I feel like a little old man, nodding off wherever I am.
Do any of you get sleepy if you sit still? Do I need more sleep if I’m really active vs. sedentary?
