Why am I so tired all of the time? I’m only 22 years old, and I feel like I’m pushing 40 sometimes. I didn’t have this problem when I first came to college. I was lively, energetic, and could pull at least two all-nighters in a row if I wanted to. Now, I can’t even manage to take a 4 or 5 hour nap without oversleeping a couple of hours. Two alarm clocks do no good either. Why do I need a nap in the first place? That goes hand-in-hand with my first question. I’m tired, but I don’t know why.
Back in high school, I would get up every day at 6 a.m. and not leave school until almost 7 p.m. during this time of the year. Sure, I was tired. But, if I had too, I could go on all night and barely feel the effects the next day. Now, if I done that, I would nearly fall dead the next day.
I guess it’s just part of life. And don’t ask me why I’m writing this at 3 in the morning. Justin, maybe that’s why you’re tired. I’m about to go to bed. Remember I overslept my nap; that’s why I’m up at this hour.
People can’t handle the same things they could when they were younger. Maybe it’s because I’ve become a lazy bum. Not on my exercise plan like I need to be. Not eating as good as I should be. I should probably be doing those things. Maybe I’ll get started tomorrow. It’s too late to change my life tonight.
have you had your thyroid levels, iron levels, tested? Hypothyroidism and iron deficiency can cause you to be tired.
Hi Justin,
Theres many reasons why we may get tired, psychological, spiritual, however one of the best insights are to look inside – very often the crux is on the liver and the colon – if you are clean on the inside and the backlogs are cleared we have more energy available to ourselves.
I hope those words are some use to you.
Good proteins, essential fatty acids, good sleep and try and detox with plenty of water and maybe a little exercise may help. However there are places to see if you have any intolerances or other problems – all of which treatable.
