Why am I so tired? - Sleep Disorders Message Board

Hi!

I am new here. I am always tired and cannot figure out why, I just had a week off work and even getting up at 9am after going to bed at 11pm and I was still exchaused throughout the day. And if I work an early shift (7-4) I come home and nap for like three hours and it is a struggle to get up then!

I am also a very cold person and often take a hot bath to warm myself up. I exercise regulary and eat pretty good.

I went to the doctor yesterday and he said nothing seemed to be the problem but he will take some blood later this week just to confirm. Any idea the reason, why I am so tired?

Looking forward to hearing from someone!

Glad to hear your doctor is going to do the blood tests. My immediate thought is that it sounds like it could be some form of anemia.

Dehydration could be a possibility. Do you drink lots of water, and is your pee clear or dark?

Hi UK chick - I am the exact same way, cold and tired and unmotivated!! I have had all the tests and am very healthy apparently. i get lots of sleep, go to bed a tthe same time every night, etc. I think in all honesty I am just a low-energy person. I have been like this since I was a young child so I'm thinking its just part of my makeup, which sucks!
