I am always tired lately
Hello I'm a 20 year old female and I'm always tired. Even after getting like 6 hours or sleep or so a night I'm still tired. I've been working the late shift at work 4pm-1am so I haven't been getting to bed until real late. Do I have a vitamin deficiency? I have to slam 5 hour energies just to get me through the day. Any advice on what I could do to help become more rested. I do work out like 2 times a week but I feel like that makes it worse. Thanks and I do rate!

It's probably high or low blood sugar. You might want to get this checked by a doctor, before it gets serious. This doctor's appointment WILL require blood work!

I'm eighteen years old, I have the same problem. But sometimes it's hard for me to even fall asleep even when I'm really tired or worn out. My doctor says it because when I sleep, my body doesn't fully fall asleep, that's why I toss and turn so much. You might have the same problem. I also take a medication for insomnia and depression. Because often times when I try to sleep I have so many things running through my head like what I'll do the next day or next week or what I did all day or random stuff. Hope this helps

I'm 16, I've been feeling the same way I've been getting like 2-4 hours of sleep every night. Even if I get lots of sleep, I walk around layed back & yawning all day. I suggest you stay away from energy drinks, I had a double supplement of Rockstar & I got NO sleep, I was trying so hard. Next thing you know the sun is coming up I got worried & told my dad he tells me to drink warm milk. And I also think that eating healthy plays a role. I think feeling tired has to do with our brains & its up to us to give it what it needs to work right. A healthy diet will most likely make you feel better.

Three things:
Stop with the go pills.
Schedule at least 8 hours of sleep.
Drink plenty of water, and make sure you are eating right (especially, make sure you are getting enough protein and iron).
Six hours simply isn't enough for most human beings.
The vast majority of us need 8 to 9 hours sleep in order to function normally. If your body is used to 6, it might take you a while to program it to sleep longer, but even if you just sit in bed and twiddle your thumbs for two hours (or better, listen to some relaxing music, or even a podcast) you'll be ahead of where you are now. Being tired if you are only getting six hours or so of sleep a night isn't a vitamin deficiency -- that's just normal, old fashioned tired!
However, given your troubles it's a good time to take a look at what you put in your body. Make sure you are drinking enough, and remember that most young women are iron deficient and don't get enough protein in their diets. Make sure you are getting what you need from your foods.
And finally, while we are on the topic of 'what you put in your body' you need to stop taking go pills. They are just causing you to become dependent on them in order to feel awake and they will prevent your body from getting into any natural rhythms.
You are getting to that age where you are no longer a teen and a child. You will start to discover more and more, that if you give your body crap, it won't do what you need it too. That's just being an adult. Give your body enough sleep, enough food and don't fuck it up with go pills, and it will be nicer to you.

Here is your problem
( I have to slam 5 hour energies just to get me through the day) Stay away from 5 hour energies. I have heard numerous complaints that it actually gives you the opposite effect and that it also causes you to crash quickly. 5 hour energies are high on sugar also.
If you get home for 1 am try and be in bed as soon as possible if you can scoop an extra hour of sleep go for it. Also, Taking fish oil pills or anything containing omega 3 should also help you feel better but make sure you eat healthy.
