After the fourth time they sent me for tests. I had a disease called epstein-barr (i think thats how you spell it) which bassicly meant i was tired all the time. I used to miss whole days of school just cuz I was tired. Ask your docter about it and see if he thinks you show the same systoms.
i dont remember much about it so i googled it and came up with this link:
I_am_Neo answered Wednesday July 12 2006, 6:07 pm: Your sleeping way to much. Try to be more active, go outside and have fun. WEhen you sit around and do nothing you become hungry and tired like I am always busy and I'm never hungry and never tired. I suggest playing a sport anything really but just stay active do something that makes you feel alive blast music do something. Or maybe your depressed. Did you recently break up with your boyfriend or did a close one die? That may make you like the way you are and if that's the case I would find some help. Hope that helped,

jesikah answered Monday July 10 2006, 8:40 pm: honestly hun, the problems lies in your sleeping. you said you slept for ten hours. from non until ten pm. there is such thing as over sleeping. and especially if you don't normally sleep at those times for that AMOUNT of time. you need to get into a regular pattern of sleep and your hunger will stop aswell as your drowsiness. <3 jes [ jesikah's advice column | Ask jesikah A Question ]

NeedAdvice21 answered Sunday July 9 2006, 9:06 pm: hi
i don't know what that is. to tell you the truth, i have been tired all the time too. that is why i wrote the late at night. also i haven't been hungry either. maybe you don't have enough energy to keep you awake. what you can do is if you are up early and can't get back to sleep, you can go to a local exercising gym. when i go at 8:00am to go there, i feel energized and feel get thoughout the day. if you don't feel like doing that, then you could just try it one day to see if you like it. it best if you try it in the morning. if you do it in the afternoon or at night, then you don't feel as good as you do in the morning. i hope i helped you.
if you need to ask me more questions or need more advice, ask me in my advice column.
