tired all the time.
15/f
i'm constantly tired. i normally get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night but when i come home i like have to take a nap everyday because i'm so tired. i feel like i could just sleep all the time. it's kind of annoying so i was wondering what could cause this? and what i could do to help it?
i'm a vegetarian by the way if that could be it or something.

Well for one your age will really say alot about how much you sleep. The average teenage female (and males even) generally need plenty of sleep to re-fuel their hormones and help their bodies continue to grow and function how they are supposed to. Sleep ,or the lack of sleep rather, is somthing that is really not taken seriously although it most definitley should be. If you are sleeping 7-8 hours of sleep at night, yet you are still tired when you come home from school, there is no other simpler way to tell you you are tired! The answer to this problem? Sleep more. Make sure when you are sleeping however, you have absolutley no distractions halting yoou from getting a good nights rest. Make sure your TV is turned off so your mind can be at ease while you rest. Also, make sure you have a pillow that is comfortable for you. An old worn old sack of feathers falsely called a pillow at times may very well be disabling your body from getting into a full state of relaxation. When it comes to desperate measures (I say this because it may not be the cheapest way to get a good night's sleep), the right matress can make or break a good sleep. If your matress is old, worn out, or just plain uncomfortable for you (too firm or too soft), theres a good chance that you aren't getting as good of a rest as you could be. If you buy a new matress make sure you lay on it, and select the most comfortable one. We are all different, if your best friend thinks one matress feels best, your opinion could be entirely different than hers, so make sure you try it before you buy it! As far as being a vegetarian, that should not affect your sleeping. There are plenty of vegetarians, even vegans that sleep a good 7 hours and are plenty energized for the next day. My only suggestion is make sure you're still getting your vitamins (especially B vitamins) and a still a healthy amount of protein, somthing that is mainly found in meats. Proteins are responsible for rebuilding your muscle tissue and keep it functioning. Possibly a deprevation of protein can keep your muscles tired, and quite possibly bringing your energy down as well. A perfect substitute instead of meat for protein are nuts, soybeans, and dairy products such as cheeses and milk. They are all rich in protein, and all without the sqwawking, mooing, ooinking, etc. :) For the most part though, your a teenager. Your body is still doing amazing things 24/7 to keep it growing and functioning. If you're doing everything you can to help improve your sleep but you are still tired, just do your best to be patient and ride it out; it won't last forever. :) I hope everything works out for you!
