I'm always tired what can I do?

Getting tired easily can be different things. the type of work you do can influence it. It can be your lifestyle though which I think is the problem. I would suggest you take a blood test (Hb). The amount af blood you have can be a reason as oxygen is being ciculated though the red blood cells in the blood. So if you blood is low it can be the cause. This can be due to the foods you eat or an underlying medical condition. \n\nif you are an asmathic or have a problem with some type of lung disease can be another reason. It is a point of concern and you should go and get a medical checkup.\n\nEat food rich in iron and avoid strenous workk and walking or running long distances for the meantime. get at least 8 hours or more sleep for the day and avoid staying up late at night if possible.\n\nHope I helped

Seriously, you could try having LESS sleep. Not many folks really require more than 8 hours a night on a regular basis once they are adults and before they hit old age. If I take more than that, I always get a headache.\n\nHowever, chronic fatigue can be caused by any number of things. An obvious cause could be an underactive Thyroid gland, for which there is a simple test which your doctor can arrange.

me, too. It has been going on for a while now. I actually fall asleep at work sometimes, or am close to being in physical pain trying not to.\n\nI asked for help on here too, and got lots of good advice--the best I thought was that I should get more exercise. I bet that really would help. Only problem is==>too tired to start. When I get home all I want to do is crash.\n\nI have been thinking about going to the doc to rule out anything like diabetes, or thyroid probs, or hormones, or God forbid, cancer, lupus, etc. There are SO many physical causes for tiredness including depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies, and so on.  So I guess we need to see first if we are otherwise healthy, and then see if we can find an exercise partner to make us shake a leg. I hear that once you really get into an exercise routine, the tired feeling goes away.\n\nI am willing to try if you are.

.Go to bed the same time every night\n.Read or take a warm bath before bedtime to tire you up\n.Have dinner so you're not hungry,because you can't sleep if you're hungry.But don't get too stuffed,because that can be bothersome too.\n.DON'T drink coffee or anything with caffeine at night\n.And most importantly,relax.Pretend to put all of your troubles in a bottle and keep your mind free of worry,or at least until morning.

Get plenty of sleep and work out regularly. \n\nSeriously, if you have a steady work out for about an hour a day (the morning is the best) you will have so much energy and it will keep you going all day. When I first started working out, I did it in the evening after work and I was up all night.

I think you're right to be concerned... I was a certified coffee addict for several years in college and grad school, and it eventually totally messed up my waking and sleeping patterns so that I had to go on medication to straighten it out.  You shouldn't be tired all the time, but using coffee to "medicate" for that is just going to make things worse in the long run.\n\nI'd suggest first getting checked out by a sleep specialist -- many sleep clinics offer free screenings from time to time, where you can just drop in and they can check for a few different kinds of sleep abnormalities.  Even if you're getting the right number of hours of sleep, you could have sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, or some other condition you may not even know about that keeps your sleep from being as restful as it should be.\n\nYou might also consider getting your blood sugar levels checked, as high or low levels can also make you sleepy during the day.  There are also a few other blood tests that might help you figure out what's going on, as certain other excesses or deficiencies might be sapping your energy level -- a doctor could explain more about some of those possibilities.\n\nMeantime, fresh air, exercise, and especially *deep breaths* might help you feel more refreshed and alert during the day.  Improving the flow of oxygen to your brain always helps. :)\n\nGood luck!  I hope you figure something out that helps!

Develop a routine each night while preparing to go to sleep. Your body will adjust to this routine and try to go to bed about the same time each night. Watching tv, reading a good book, a warm bath and milk are some things that help. If this fails, talk with your doctor about it since there could be medical reasons that you can't fall asleep, like depression. Other than this, Tylenol PM is a good over the counter drug that really works. Good night and sweet dreams.

I feel your pain!\nHere are some things that have worked for me-\nTry doing the same routine every night before you go to sleep- do a few yoga streches, take a shower and have a cup of tea (I recommend chamomile mango- Bigelow I think...) and THEN climb into bed.  \nTry an eye pillow- it blocks out the light and keeps you from staring around at you furniture while you curse yourself for not being asleep already :)\nTry doing some sort of exercise during the day- it makes you more tired- like running up and down some steps a few times.\nTry to go to sleep and get up at the same time each day.  I know it sounds nuts- who want to get up at seven on a weekend!?  But it seems to help me- it gives your body a schedule.\nTry not to do work on your bed- that way you can associate your bed with sleep adn relaxation only.  \nIf you're lying there for over 30 minutes, try getting up and walking around.  Go sit in the living room and just chill- no TV though.\nIf you're worrying about something- school. work, life- sit in your living room or somewhere other that your bedroom and let yourself think about it and obsess about it for maybe 20 minutes- whatever.  Maybe try to work out a solution.  And then say to yourself, ok! I'm done thinking about that- mean it! and then climb into bed.\nGOOD LUCK!!! I'm not saying that these always always always work for me but they're worth a try.\nZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......... :)

Well if you are on any drugs right now that could be affecting you!  I know I was on a drug and it made me so incredibly tired!  I am now off that drug and I am great!  If this isn't the case perhaps you need to try energy drinks or see if you are getting enough iron!  Iron is very important and a lot of women are lacking in this department!  Try eating some foods high in iron like broccoli and nuts!  Good luck!  I know how horrible it is to be tired!  Also try planning things to get you excited!

I used to have a similar problem in that I was always tired!\n\nChances are, you may have something lacking in your diet, or you may be suffering from the opposite of insomnia - hypersomnia. \n\nThe way I beat it was that I exercised regularly, normally in the morning or afternoon (never at night), I had a hearty breakfast and I tried to avoid catnapping. Keeping active is quite important because if you're stationary all day sitting at a computer or whatnot, you do feel tired. Even if it is taking the stairs instead of the escalator, it makes the difference. Exercise just makes you much wider awake.

- take frequent breaks\n- drink water - i have found this helps\n- drink green tea (alot less caffeine in tea) and no jitters\n- eat fresh veggies that are raw! great nutrients and energy\n- eat fresh raw fruit if you want a bit of sugar\n- make sure you stretch your arms, neck, legs and back at least every 2 hours\n\nstudying for too long, not staying hydrated and eating junk food will all contribute to you feeling tired and sluggish, but following the hints ive given, you will feel healthier and your brain will be more active\n\ngoodluck

Try these if you want to fall asleep faster:\n\n1.  Exercise\nMake sure you exercise enough and stay physically active.  If you don't move a muscle all day long, you have too much energy left at the end of your day.  Do some aerobic sports at least every other day, each lasting 30 minutes or more.\n\n2.  Stress management\nToo much stress obviously help create insomnia.  Make sure you are not annoyed by or concerned with anything when you are in bed.  Relax yourself before going to bed.  If necessary, some "soft" relaxing exercise helps. (or even moderate stretching will do)\n\n3. Hot drink other than coffee\nIf possible, take a cup of hot or warm drink like skimmed milk.  Avoid drinking coffee starting from six hours (or more) before you go to bed.\n\n4. Body temperature\nI advise taking a warm shower before going to bed.  When you're sleeping your body temperature drops a little bit.  So the shower help create that "drop" because after the shower your body is slightly "hotter".  Make sure you feel a comfortable temperature at where you sleep. Too cold: add a blanket; too warm: show your bare feet or even your lower legs.

There could be a number of reasons your tired. You might not be getting good sleep. You could have sleep apnea, which means for a few seconds each night you actualy stop breathing. it could be that your stressed. And it also could be your diet. \n\nTry medatating, stretching/yoga, and or writing in a journal before you go to sleep to clear your mind. Also, try to avoid caffine and sugar at least 3 hours before you go to bed, and make sure your room is dark and quiet. But don't make it too quiet. Getting a "soothing" sounds tape might help.\n\nIf the problem lasts more then a few weeks i'd talk to my dr. Though I doubt its anything serious, the possibilty is always there. And even if its not something serious it could be something that needs medical attention (ex. stress) and your dr can help you pinpoint the reason, and get rid of it so you can start getting the rest you deserve

U may just be a slower moving laid back person. I do know depression and anxiety use alot of energy cause your mind is really doing extra work.I take a b12 shot each month and the B complex vitamin with a meal. this helps some and a good 20 min walk each day will energise you.but dont do alot of excercise at bedtime. that will keep u awake. you might also get your blood checked for anemia

The best advice I can give you is to talk to your doctor about the problems you are having in your sleep patterns. Not being able to sleep can be a sign of a more serious underlying problem, mental or physical. \n\nYour doctor will know best how to treat your problem. He / she may prescribe you some short-term sleep aid medications to get you back on track or send you for further testing / further treatment. \n\nLosing sleep is a serious problem so don't let it go untreated or unnoticed for too long. Your rest level effects your entire existence and your state of mind. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...
