Always tired


Question Posted Saturday July 28 2007, 12:59 am

15/f

I don't know what's wrong with me. Actually, I don't know if anything is wrong with me at all.

Ever since I was little I have loved sleeping. I can sleep for so long. If I don't have something to wake me up, I can sleep for a good 15 hours. And then when I wake up I still don't feel energized. In the middle of the day I always feel like if I just lay down and close my eyes for a few minutes I would be able to sleep right away (I have fallen asleep on my boyfriend's shoulder several times).

I definitely don't exercise too much. I don't exercise ENOUGH, so I know it's not that.

I have thalassemia minor (genetic anemia, in short) and that is my only health problem at this point. The word anemia makes people think "tired" but I don't think I should be. My hemoglobin is the problem in terms of the thalassemia, but mine is now at a very close to normal level, so it shouldn't be affecting me.

I don't know what to do. I get so annoyed at how tired I feel during the day when I should feel amazing with how much sleep I got.

Is lethargy even a reasonable excuse? What do I do?

Actually sleeping alot makes you tired. It tires out your body. So when you sleep for long periods of rime, it starts to drain you. You should get the amount of sleep you need.
So maybe 7 or 8 hours instead of 15.

I know it sounds weird, but Honestly, I was told this by a doctor.

the same thing but not as bad happened to me, i was just always tired and the docter told me to start taking vitamins. so maybe you should take some if you don't already. or just visit the docter and see what they say. another reason could be maybe an unbalanced diet.

hope i helped =]
