And my typing gets worse :)

well I am at 4 and a half years and I still get tired too. I think to some degree we just have to accept that we will always have less energy.
I think the food you eat can make a big difference. Obviously having a good balanced diet with plenty vegetables fruit and proteins etc. Look into what the right food to eat is.
working out is important and its good that you do work out. Are you having a good work out. Last summer I decided i would take a break from the gym as it was too nice out. I decided to go on long walks instead but after two weeks of my long walks I was exhausted and sleeping much more. I had to get back to the gym and push myself to get good work out done. Soon I was feeling better for it.
There is nothing wrong with having a nap in the afternoon to recharge your batteries as such.
just think of it as something like medicine. Sometimes a half hour nap in the afternoon can keep you going much longer.
I don't think you should beat yourself up if you need to take a nap. You'll just have to work around it. You could find by penciling in a nap in the early afternoon could keep you going much longer in the day and maybe into the evening.
goodluck

You just hit the nail on the head, it is obviously past my nap time.

Yes this spring when it was nice in Arizona I went for long walks too. Long limps wound be more appropriate.

Now that it is too hot here, off to the gym I go.

Shut up my whining and get back to work :)

You know the people who live in the warm Mediterranean countries take a daily nap called a siesta. That's what I say when I am going for a nap in the afternoon. 'Excuse me its siesta time'. nothing wrong with that and no need to say its needed because of a bi. Just say you've got some Spanish genes somewhere in you, I don't know maybe you do :D

We are 50 miles from the Mexican border, we know siesta time here!

All kidding aside I do take naps.If I miss them my behavior gets strange.

Funny you bring up eating well, I found a video on the Internet about proper eating a couple of weeks ago. I was following most of it but I am cutting out orange juice, wheat bread and all processed foods now. I have already had cut out alcohol, soft drinks and margarine. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and plent of water.

About time I started taking care of myself.

I find I need to take daily naps too. I am about 2 1/2 years out from my injury. I also find I have less energy, and if I don't rest I also have a harder time. I find 30-45 minutes a day for a nap on a daily basis helps me to focus on tasks, and stay in a better mood. I too am trying to get to the gym if only for a short time. If I find I don't have time for a nap, I try to just sit and relax with deep breathing ... in hopes that helps the rest of my day.

Your body knows what it needs. Listen to it if it is saying you have done enough. We probably take better care of the car motor than our own body at times.

Oh yes, my son knows when he is getting tired. Even though he works, not a manually hard job, he knows when he doesnt get his rest and eat right, he says his "Boo Boo Brain" really acts up. Cant talk right, cant concentrate cant think right. I'll tell you like I tell him, if your body needs to rest, rest. Its the best thing you can do. If people dont understand, the heck with them.

iam 3 1/2 years in to my new life and i nap 1 a day and it least 8 hrs sleep the more i stress less words come out on me or type
