Not to reinforce anything negative or no harm meant, but I feel the same way brother. just wanted to send some love and say Hang in there! I'm trying my best to improve my diet and squeeze in any exercise I can manage. Hoping for positive results. Hope you stay strong even though it may be so hard.

I enjoy sleeping to. I must admit.

Thanks for the responses. I slept about an hour longer last night and it seemed to have helped a little with my energy level today.

I can somewhat relate to this topic, but I feel the more you sleep the more of life you miss out on. I feel I am behind where I wanna be in life and I feel guilty for sleeping because as I lay down I know the problem wont be solved this way at all. Just frustrated with life and the decisions I've made in it.

Datpm2300 I definitely understand your frustration. I feel like if I had more motivation and energy, then I could probably achieve things that would make my life easier.

some things that have helped me get better sleep and feel less tired it to go to bed earlier. when I go to bed at ten thirty and sleep for 8 hours I don't feel as rested as when I go to bed at nine thirty. even if I can't sleep right away I seem to wake more rested even if I get the same number of sleep hours.. another thing is to keep the room cool and dark and quiet. also, I usually get deeper sleep when I have been really physically active during the day vs. not being so active. i'm tired a lot too though so I can relate.

Thank you for the recommendations Anna1212 :)

Hello Restful,

Im no doctor but I know that when I feel this way it may be because Im coming with a sickness like the flu or a cold or an infection. Also I like what Anna1212 said, try to be more physically active during the day. Try also to wind down 2 hours before bed by reading a book or doing a little guided meditation. Both guided meditation and reading a relaxing book make me super tired and I sleep a restful sleep. In all truth though it can be many things that may be keeping you exhausted, it can be stress, it can be that you are eating too late, it can be that you have a deficiency of Vitamins. I suggest trying some new patterns out for a while and see what helps, but practice these patterns with discipline and try them for more than just a day. Write down your observations but make sure to be objective.

What worked for me is eating earlier and not even snacking on anything after 7pm. Also I got some bloodwork done and I was deficient in Vitamins B. I Also started doing more physical activity throughout the day and practicing winding down before heading to bed with reading a relaxing book and meditation. I tried to make my room dark and comfortable to me.

I wish you luck and I send you many positive vibes.

Thank you very much ReaDyO!
Great advice!
