Hi there, I’m 21 years old and I’m just so tired so sleepy. I work 8:30-5:00 Mon -Friday. I don’t have kids, but I do have a husband, I do my daily things cook, clean, laundry. Saturday 5:45am to 2:00pm. I also manage to play soccer but that’s only once a week. Then I have another job from 3:00 to 12 midnight. I don’t get it I sleep everyday at 10, 10:30ish. and wake up at 7. It’s about 8, 9 hours. I don’t know what to do…

Hello, my name is Dennis. Lately I have been tired, and tend to take naps throughout the day when I’m not doing anything. Which is not normal for me. I am fit, I played basketball for 2 years, and love to exercise. I still can’t figure out why I am so tired though. Could someone explain why I might be tired?

I just noticed that the comments on here are very old ones, but I’m going to leave a comment anyways .. I’m not sure where you are from but where I am from only the rich can do what you are saying to do when it comes to this whole routine of ” Exercise” I am a welder who works at a factory that makes the big R.V frames for the buses, I get more exercise then a lot of people out there just thinking about it. I have no time for ” Meditation ” because if I close my eyes I will not be opening them until the next morning ! And for that ” White Sound ” it would have the ” Amazing ” ability to piss me off ! Nothing get’s on my nerves any faster then hearing that sound of a radio not coming in and making that terrible fuzzy sound, I have been known to throw a radio away that does that.. Oh let’s not forget that ” Mid Morning Break ” Us people from the real working crowd call that our 10 min break before our 20 min lunch break. We don’t have the pleasure of taking a ” Mid Morning Break ” like the ones who have to much time and money on their hands do… But all this is my opinion and since it’s my opinion and no one can say it’s wrong or right because everyone has a right to their own opinion.. So this brings me to the question of what can the working class do about their tiredness ? Thanks for reading this.. Have a good nap everyone!!

I have been having sleep issues my whole life, when I was younger I would stay awake for about a week and then sleep for a whole day and do it all over again. I was diagnosed with extreme insomnia and have tried taking medication but for some reason the meds never worked. But for the past 2 years I have been nothing but tired all the time, Idk if it’s my relationship or the fact that the people in my life treat me like carp on a daily basis. My gf and I just recently had a baby girl and I have to be a stay at home dad(which by the way was not my choice) and it’s driving me nuts, I hate being home all the time and I feel like I’m losing my mind.the biggest problem I have is that I can’t fall asleep when I want to and I can’t stay asleep for more than a half hour before I feel like I’m about to die(paranoia) and have to wake up, walk around my apartment, and have a smoke out side (which doesn’t help since I live in Alaska).my sleep issues have gotten to the point where I get angry if I lay down before I’m ready for bed but I get angry if I can’t get to sleep as well. If anyone has any tricks that might work please let me.know cuz I’m desperate.

Lori – Night shift will take years off your life if you don’t adapt properly. It wouldn’t hurt to go see a sleep specialist.
My shift schedule was 4 x 12 hour shifts – 2 from 7 am till 7pm, then 2 from 7 pm to 7 am. I try to adjust my routine to meet my work schedule. If I’m going into work at midnight, I get out of bed at 10.00pm, cook my breakfast, and generally try make my night shift routine as much like my days shift routine as possible. When I come home from work, I would stay up till at least noon preferable 3:00 pm, so I’m sleeping how I would on Dayshift. I have hearing loss and ringing. Overdosing on ASA based products will also make your ears ring. Found that out the hard way.
It’s also amazing the number of shift workers with sleep apnea problems. I’ve just turned 63. IF you’re working shifts, your fatigue can cause you to over eat, your brain is tired, and can’t decide if you need food or sleep so you eat.

I’m starting retirement now, and have also found I’m deficient in thyroid and testosterone. _ You need to see your GP & get some blood tests done. Another thing affecting lack of ambition is vitamin B12.

Not trying to be preachy, this is just stuff I found through 30 years of shift work.

You are not alone. Racing mind syndrome is part of insomnia. I also have that. I have had trouble sleeping my whole life. Good days and bad. Anyway, sometimes I write down what is running through my mind as I lay awake and that helps. It isn’t a cure, but does relieve some stress. Also, I work full time and care for my aging mother, so I worry a lot. Its hard not to, but so much is not in my control. I wish you and everyone here well.

I am 84 years of age, and I am often very tired. The worst exhaustion was when I was on hypertension pills(high blood pressure pills) Then I noticed that weakness was a side effect of the pill. Most pills have nasty side effects. So check with your pharmacist, or better with your doctor. Oma.

I am 48 years old and tuckered almost everyday. I am a single parent of a 2 year old son. I have to wake up three times a night to check on him and change diaper and pee sometimes, sometimes moreso no pee. I get to work and within an hour I am ready for a nap. I do get a little energy at night because I am busy with Little Jimmy. I do have bouts of anxiety and a few months ago even thought of suicide, whoa what a month that was. I smoke a little less then a pack of cigarettes a day, no excersise and have not seen a doctor in over 30 years. I used to be so energetic and this past years stress has just seemed to kill me energy wise. I am not over weight but I do eat like crap. I feed my baby the right stuff but most the time I dont like what he has so I just do not eat dinner. I think I should see a doctor but what kind, physical or mental. I also have more back pain lately since the tiredness has gotten worse. Hmmmmm, I just feel screwed. I want to be around for 30 or so years to watch my boy grow. I have no insurance and am very scared. Any thoughts would help. I have been as honest as possible. I also tried a testosterone booster but did nothing. What about a testosterone shot once a month? I heard that would help plus a little better diet. I am also considering a iron supplement and minimal excercise. The minimal excercise because I litterally hav not much time every week between work and taking care of a toddler. Thank you for any help, ANYONE….

I just turned 19 this month. I have a 4month old and my boyfriend a full time job so I’m a stay at home mom. I’ve felt tired constantly since i was about 16. I used to sleep like 18hrs a day when i wasn’t at school just so I didnt feel tired. I did have some problems with depression then but I’m a lot better now. Exercise and being outdoors seemed to help my mood and exhaustion (and still does) but i can never motivate myself to actually get out and about. I have also recently realized that i probably have an iron deficiency and I’ve tried getting more iron. That helped a little but now that i have a 4month old son, (and he is SO fussy!) I’m constantly too overwhelmed to make time to actually cook a healthy meal or get him ready to go for a walk. Cant really afford to spend extra cash on supplements. Plus i read that your body doesnt absorb the vitamins from pills as well and its better to get it from food. my son sleeps from 9pm till about 7am with 2/3 feedings through the night and i try to sleep whenever he does but I’m still always so tired and I want to have the energy to actually enjoy playing with him during the day. I’m so tired of always being tired!
