    i know i have bipolar,ptsd and anxiety.never really bothered my sleep though.

    im always fuckin tired!the other day i went to bed around 11,woke up at 7.tired as hell.went out and did a few things and went back home.layed down around noon and woke up around 6pm.went back to bed around 10pm and woke up around 630 yesterday morning.i shouldnt be tired but i am tired as hell.

    i used to be able to stay up 4 or 5 days straight repoing cars,sleep for a day and go do it all over again without being tired.used to stay upallnight on the computer or playstation,sleep for 3 hours and go to my shop till midnight.

    i have no energy.dont want to do a damn thing but sitting around doing nothing is getting boring.i know something is wrong wit me but no idea what.gonna gosee a doctor but was wondering what it may be so i know what to expect i guess.

    I'm not at all a doctor and this is no diagnosis, but anxiety and depression can both wreak havoc on one's quality of sleep.

    Blame your diet.. The human body is an energy reactor. It reacts to what you put in it. If you load up on low fuel foods. you get no energy. very simple..

    Hi, I had the same problem and was on some pretty strong meds, but i complained about being over tired and they did alot of blood work on me and found out that i was terriably aniemic. I was told to take 400 mg of iron 3 times a day and after a week or so the problem was pretty much nipped in the bud. Good luck and god bless. Christine

    have you ever been checked for hypothyroidism or anemia? try looking up "fatigue" at www.webmd.com

    anemia
    depression
    low B vitamins
    some illnesses present as fatigue,,for instance, mononeucleosis.
    have a blood test, see if your iron is in the norm or not
    could be a lot of things.

    If your sleeping time is not productive (short of REM sleep, or deep sleep), then your "batteries" aren't really getting re-charged.

    Seek solutions by doing searches and a lot of reading. Maybe something will begin to make sense. Otherwise, it may take a trip to see a "professional".

    all those nights of staying up and not getting enough sleep has caught up with you.

    just get 8 hours of sleep every night and take a 2 hour nap in the evening around 5 or something.


    also I remember a post back you said you were quiting smoking weed after crashing your car.

    so if you did quit weed then I always noticed that my sleep is messed up after quiting. I always feel tired for a long time after quiting.

    Maybe you're not getting enough B vitamins. Those give you more energy.

    It's probably a lack of iron, or B vitamins.

    Wow... such a variety of answers...

    Without drugs, I am on a two month cycle... During the depressive episodes, I would literally lay in bed waiting to die...

    That hasn't happened in a long time though, as I keep my swings under control by smoking weed... Works great... I never hit the killer depressions and never try to fly to the moon now...

    Unfortunately, it doesn't change the underlying chemical imbalance that causes the problem... so it manifests itself as tiredness now.

    During the time that I would normally crash... I smoke twice as much weed as normal... and never quite shut down...

    but tired... man... I could sleep the whole time...

    The worst of it is, I still can't sleep more then an hour or two at a time during it. That part actually works well for me in terms of life though as I can keep stoves going all night... lol
