Not feeling well... why?
I'm a relatively healthy young lady. 21/f. not overweight. not underweight. no serious health issues. lately, i'm just SO tired. when i'm driving in the car, i just feel extremely tired and one of my eyes keeps twitching. it's SO weird! It's every day, and especially at night, when I'm starting to get tired. It happens to me when I'm working on my schoolwork. That's another thing. At school, I'm SUPER tired. I never feel like I have ENERGY to do things. To read and analyze handouts or readings in the textbook is another way of telling me to go to sleep. If I were to have to put up things or decorate something of some sort, I would FALL ASLEEP. i'm just REALLY, REALLY tired! I try to complete my homework and projects and it's like the clock is ticking at a certain time because of how tired I start to get at some point in the day. it is interesting to me and I want to study, but I'm so tired, that it becomes like a task. So, it's more of an impairement from what I'm doing than an excuse not to do it. Has this ever happened to anyone? and if so, what can I do about it? thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
So I really do not have much good medical advice to give, but I've heard that the disease Mono causes chronic tiredness. That is a major symptom- you are tired all the time. I believe Mono is spread through saliva- have you kissed anyone lately? Or taken a sip from another's water bottle? Again, I am not a doctor. I recommend you see one, as you need medication for this. I hope you feel better!

I'm not a doctor, none of are and even if we were we cannot give medical advice over this website.
What scares me the most about what you have written is that whatever is bothering you does so while you are driving. Until you see a doctor and find out what is bothering you, which will be my advice. Drive with your window open at least an inch and your radio turned up loud to help you stay a wake. Also keep the heater turned down so as not to over warm you. Overheating causes drowsiness.
You do need to see a doctor to find out what is causing your problem. While I do not wish to tell the doctor how to examine you I would like you to ask the doctor to test your blood for high Carbon Monoxide levels.
I'm not trying to alarm you over this but this is a symptom, one the doctor may not look for mixed in with the other symptoms you may have. Given the mild winter we have had I would rather be safe than sorry.
You could if you like or if you find driving with the window open keeps you from feeling drowsy have your cars exhaust system checked by an ASE certified mechanic. You can also buy CO detectors for your home or ask the local fire department to check your home for CO levels.
This would eliminate all but school and work from any environment where high co levels could be effecting you. This is a guess on my part, one that cost little and is painless to have checked out.
See a doctor as soon as possible and if you are falling asleep or having trouble staying awake when driving then refrain from driving as much as possible until you see a doctor. If you must drive do as I have suggested and keep a window open and your radio on.
