Fatigue Vs. Routine Vs. Stress? Posted: 04-27-07 19:34pm
Lately, I've been feeling more tired than
usual. My sleeping habits are, ok. I
make sure I get at least 6 hours of sleep
a night (for early morning classes).
Otherwise I get about 8 hours. Also, if I
am under a lot of stress I'll wake up many
times during the night.
I have been known for taking naps about
2-3 times a week. It seems I'm the most
tired after being awake for 6-8 hours
(this would be about the time I would take
naps) I try not to nap for more than an
hour.
I am under a lot stress, the past few
weeks have been crazy: I'm trying to make
sure grades are decent, finals week is
next week, I thought I was pregnant and
had a blood test that came back NEGATIVE,
I've been having some minor problems with
my ex, I'm worried about getting one of my
projects done on time, and finally, in
less than 2 weeks I'm moving back home for
the entire summer (which is the only good
stress I have right now).
So my questions:
Should I give in, and take naps?
Are they really unhealthy for adults?
Perhaps my body is setting a routine for
itself?
Is is possible that the stress is wearing
me down so much that it's making me tired?
