What does it mean if I always feel tired?

I used to have a similar problem in that I was always tired!\n\nChances are, you may have something lacking in your diet, or you may be suffering from the opposite of insomnia - hypersomnia. \n\nThe way I beat it was that I exercised regularly, normally in the morning or afternoon (never at night), I had a hearty breakfast and I tried to avoid catnapping. Keeping active is quite important because if you're stationary all day sitting at a computer or whatnot, you do feel tired. Even if it is taking the stairs instead of the escalator, it makes the difference. Exercise just makes you much wider awake.

You are over tired.If you don't have ample time to get a good nap i wouldn;t even bother.When you wake up you will feel just as tired.Try and get 8 hours of sleep daily.Eat right also.Try and get your sleep pattern in a routine.

maybe you should check to see if you have low iron levels in your blood. it might cause lack of energy. take some vitamins and try to get some rest if possible. I was anemic once and was tired all the time. iron pills helped me. maybe you need fruit or something in your diet.  sometimes the thyroid gland can malfunction and cause problems.  check it out and I hope you feel better soon.

It's a strange thing but sometimes too much sleep can actually leave you feeling tired, but I dunno any more than that.  Maybe you are just so rested that your body and mind are waking gradually.

anemia..insomnia...diabetes...\n.infections (flu...etc)..low metabolism >>>>>>>>>\n\nTackling fatigue\n\nFirst and foremost, you need to ensure that you lead a healthy life. This means a good diet, exercise and plenty of sleep. \n\nVitamins and minerals are necessary for many of the body's processes, and a healthy diet ensures your body can function at its best. \n\nIt may sound strange, but lack of exercise can increase feelings of fatigue. If you're not used to doing exercise, long walks are a good way to start. Exercise that involves all the major muscle groups is recommended, eg swimming...\nif it continues...consult a doctor! besT of luck

It could be Mononeucleousis = Glandular Fever\nIt could be Depression\nIt could be Chronic Fatigue Syndrome\nIt could be due to early pregrancy\n\nEither way it doesn't simply sound like you're feeling just a bit tired, it seems your energy levels and completely rock bottom even if you sleep well (oh boy afraid to say can I relate to this)...\n\n...the reasons could be several.  If due to your new medication; maybe it's a permanent side effect of them but as you are quite new to them then maybe it's just the adjusting time?  Hopefully it's that because if it is it will soon balance itself out.  Most medications make us feel tired first (antibiotics for example; when I have to take them I feel worse in first few days and completely exhausted but that's always the case, body just needs to adjust).\n\nEither way - DO talk to your Doctor about it and seek advice; help and support - as it's not easy being exhausted all of the time, it affects your quality of life in general.\n\nGood luck\n\n:-)\n\nHannah

You may feel sleepy due to following reasons:\n1. Lack of sleep at yesterday night - resolve it by finding out the sufficient time what you need for your sleep\n2. Lack of interst with your activity:\n  Resolve it by understaing the importance and how impactive that event is for ur life\n3. Reading/Studying for long Hrs:\n  You should always take break while studying for long period. If you don't have time then do shake any of ur body part frequently. Since, if you are sitting at same position 4 long time then ur brain stop getting required O2 and you can realize it via yawn. So do take little walk, go for water, chat with ur friendz then come and carry on ur activity\n4. Due to body condition:- Consuly a good doctor

Welll, it could be many reasons.\n\n1)  Do you get enough iron?  Anemia will make you really tired.  Try taking a vitamin with iron in it like One-a-Day for women, etc.\n2)  Meds may do it.  Many meds for depression and anxiety can cause daytime sleepiness.  This is a side-effect for most drugs.  Try taking your medicine at different time during the day or night.  (ie take them earlier at night so that the worst effects wear off by morning)\n3) Depression will make you tired.  BUT, do you also have negative thoughts, uninterested in other things, and the other symptoms of depression.  Only your doctor can diagnose depression.  Sleepiness does not necessarily mean you are depressed\n4) Do you have things in your life you like to do?  If you are lazy, find something.  Join a club or volunteer.  \n5)  If you are not getting any better, see a doctor, you could have chronic fatigue syndrome or anemia, or ????

Have you felt like this for longer than just today? If it is just a one-off than you are probably just bored and need to call a friend and talk, or get out of the house and get some exercise and fresh air.  However, if this has been going on for a while or is a recurring condition, than you might have a medical condition that requires immediate attention from your doctor. Depression, Diabetes, Stress, Iron-Deficency....many others could be causing you to feel the way you do. An imbalance of seretonin levels in your brain can cause "depression-like" symptoms. What ever the cause, only your doctor can help you determine it and can work with you to find the solution!! Please don't wait to seek professional advice, the longer you wait the longer you'll feel this way.  Best wishes and let us know how you do. Take care! :)

you probably aren't eating healthy, or not getting enough exercise. Also, make sure you get enough sleep every night.

Its possible you aren't getting enough sleep.\n\nIts possible you aren't eating right.  Maybe you're not getting enough protein or even fat, both of which can make you feel a little more energetic.\n\nIf there's any chance you have a little depression you would not always have the energy to work out.\n\nIf you live under unrelenting stress its possible your adrenal gland has "run out of juice" and cannot produce sufficient cortisol for you to be able to exercise without feeling depleted.  ("Adrenal fatigue" causes people to feel depleted rather than invigorated by exercise.)

It could be that your getting to much sleep or that you are worried about something.  If you worry or think to hard sometimes it makes you tired.

The first site below says this: "Excessive fatigue, drowsiness, or sleepiness (especially after eating) are classic signs of too much sugar floating around in your blood and an inability to process the excess sugar properly."\n\nAnd the second site says fatigue could be sugar related, but this may not always be the problem.  They suggest vitimans or citric acids.  \n\nI know that eating a large carb meal (like spaghetti) can make you tired.  So if you don't like feeling tired, it might mean not eating the things that you find make you tired - Or maybe just knowing that after eating certain meals you will be tired, and dealing with it.

By all means see a doctor. Chronic fatigue can be a sign of many things.  Including diabetes, thyroid, mono, anemia, depression, poor diet, stress, even a hormonal imbalance.  Just to name some.  More then likely your Dr. will get you back on track after a simple blood test.  Good luck to you.

Your iron may be low.  I take Zoloft also and the Zoloft may add to the tiredness cause it causes drowsiness.  If you're young you just might be changing in your body, but I am anemic and always tired and thirsty.  So I take a women's vitamin.  Stay away from so much sugar and pasta (that breaks down as sugar).  Sugar can drop your energy also.  I pray you're not diabetic, my mother is so I know how you feel with your father.  Take care of yourself and get ample rest.  Your concentration might also be from anxiety.  I am bipolar so I have to take an antidepressant (Zoloft) and a medicine for anxiety, jitters, and loss of concentration (Seroquel).  I am a better person, more relaxed and calm, but I sleep a lot.  Hope this helped!
