Time to Take Charge - I Am Always Tired! Posted: 08-29-07 19:20pm
I'm 18 years old, male, in good physical
shape, mentally sharp - everything seems
good. However, it doesn't matter how
much, or how little, I sleep; I'm ALWAYS
tired. I get my recommended 8.5 hours,
and throughout the day I am in a constant
blur, always almost falling asleep. I
yawn, no joke, every few seconds. My eyes
water and burn because I am so sleepy. I
don't know what to do, and I've had this
problem for quite a few years now.
I eat regularly, drink what I thought was
enough caffeine, and I think I get the
nutrition I need. Also, my mattress is
dandy, I know that isn't the problem.
But what could be the problem? This is
draining me, I'm tired of being half there
and half not wherever I go.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

You may be getting to much sleep! I'm not
kidding!
It could also be when you are waking up. If
you wake up at the wrong time during your
sleep cycle, it can make you groggy all
day long.
So, the suggestion is this: Set your alarm
ahead by 30 minutes or earlier by 30
minutes. You may think "oh, getting up
earlier? No way that will help!" Just give
it a try I've had days where
I had 6 hours of sleep and felt like I was
electrified, and days where I got 11 hours
and could hardly keep my eyes open
