excessive fatigue
Posted: 01-23-08 14:26pm

I'm not sure that this is considered a sleeping disorder (or is it??) but I think i'm fatigued...

I'm 16 years old and everyday this week when i've come home from school i've found it hard to keep my eyes open, I've fallen asleep on my floor and at my computer for about an hour at a time when I get home. I'm pretty cold unless i'm wearing a lot of layers and I have no energy to do anything much. Sleep doesn't seem to relieve any of these symptoms.

Yes, you are fatigued but the question is, why?

There are a whole range of possibilities from staying up too late to narcolepsy, apnoea, anaemia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and more. No one here can diagnose you, unfortunately - you will need to get along to your doctor for a check-up.

Ok, thanks Smile I just wasnt really sure whether it requires a doctor's input or if it will just go away...

How are you feeling now?

Feeling any better? Narcolepsy symptoms start showing up in your teens. If you are not feeling any better you need to go to a sleep doc and get checked out. Avoid the general family docs because in my experience they do not offer any help and just make a mess out of things.
