I'm 21/f. My schedule has changed drastically!!!! I use to start my classes in college no later than noon. I would work out in the morning, go to class. Study a little and then just did whatever. Now, I'm actually teaching this orientation course and I get up at 6am. I'm in school by 8. I leave at like 5. It's almost like a full time job. On the days I don't have that class, I go to the gym in the morning an I feel pretty good. Maybe I'm just not use I waking up so early. I was waking up before around 8:30 or 9:00 and now I wake up at 5:30 sometimes. I thought I wanted to be a teacher but I don't think being such an early bird is for me. So, I'm thinking of goig I to social work or occupational therapy. I know there's going to be times I have to wake up early, but I think this may just be TOO early to do as an every day thing. Maybe it's also been the stress of school. I took 6 courses over summer, but at least I'm graduating fairly soon. However, I imagine that when ur working, you don't have all the extra school work you do when u get home. The being tired thing kind of scared me be aide it started to affect my driving. Yesterday, I was driving crazy and almost fell asleep on the wheel. I went to bed at 7:30. And when I say I feel tired, it's not just sleepiness. It's like this dizzy feeling with nausea. I feel like I'm losing control of my muscles and I'm just gonna collapse. Had anyone ever experienced this before?
Anyway, What you should do, is see a doctor. Feeling sleepy is of course normal if you are working hard, but when it put's you (or others) in danger, then it becomes a problem. There may be something else there e.g. diabetes can cause extreme tiredness, and so it's best to get it checked out.
