Is anybody feeling tired?

[ducklite]

The past few weeks I just want to crawl into bed and sleep for twelve hours. I don't feel sick, my activity level and diet have been about the same as usual, but I just feel exhausted.

Is anyone else feeling this way lately? The only thing I can figure is that my body wants to hibernate.

Not tired- freaking exhausted. There's just not enough hours in the day lately and I haven't even decorated for Christmas yet.

I work full time, go to school full time, and DH works even more hours than I do so it falls on me to do most of the house work. Most of the time it's tolerable but lately I'm just so tired.

I know you're in Florida so it probably doesn't effect you much but I'm thinking maybe Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). This usually hits everyone around November.

I have tiredness issues most of the time and have found out I have mild anemia.

 

[CheshireVal]

Me too. There's just too much to do and not enough time to do it. When I think of everything I need to arrange and get done before I leave for Disney next Friday...... I just want to cry.

Yeah, I'm feeling that way but I think there is a good reason for it.....

I have naturally low blood pressure, but, when it gets just slightly lower than normal (normal for me) I get very, very tired. The dr. told me to take B-complex. I've been on them for around amonth and I do feel less tired....So, maybe your pressure is alittle lower than usual...

Feel better..

I get SAD every winter. First I hate the cold anymore, but can't afford to move to warmer climate. Now that it is colder, I also don't get outside as much, so not as much fresh air.
I always feel like I could be a bear and just hibernate all winter

Usually I am not this tired but it seems no matter how much sleep I get, I need more. Scooch over in the cave, I want to hibernate too!!

I'm so tired too, but mine is partially due to depression and the other part working longer hours & sleeping less. Hope to switch that all around soon.

I honestly think I have SAD ... I live in Alberta Canada.. the last 3 weeks it basically snowed the entire time.. and was between -25 to -35 celcius also.. really horrible for the psyche.....I do notice depression or at least my lack of energy as the winter months hit.. but when it's like this out I just want to hid under a rock.. lol.. at least the last couple days have been a bit warmer.. only -11 or so.. but still.. overcast no sunshine makes me depressed on its own. Ahhhh thank god it's only 3 more days until we go on our honeymoon at the world. Sunshine here I come!

YES! I took 2 of my kids to the dr yesterday, and I was paying the receptionist and started yawning. At 5pm. I said, "OMG, excuse me!!!" She said that everyone in the office has been sleepy and yawning...

I need to go back to the Florida sunshine!

 

[luvwinnie]

Yep! And many of my coworkers too. Part of it for me is the holidays, so much to do! I have psoriatic arthritis so just working full time is exhausting at times for me...add all the holiday stuff and I'm tuckered out!! lol

 

[KristinBelle]

Nope, I've been feeling better then ever, I love this time of year!

Ok, but I don't do windows.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Yes--but I kind of have a reason.


Was chatting with someone today about this cold I have...she commented that it seems the kids get it lightly and aren't as affected--but it is knocking the adults out and into bed.

Maybe you have a mild illness--enough to make you tired.

Or maybe it is just the holidays.

 

[Rhaine78]

Well to be honest, when my parents came down for our wedding on Nov.16th, my dad was sick... and after that the DH and I came down with something.. I do feel better.. but perhaps it's still clinging on.. lol

 

[RadioNate]

always...for me it is the cold. It is pretty chilly here and I can't get warm so I just want to snuggle up!
