You should really get a good vitamin, If you are taking a vitamin you need to get one that works. The reason your body is so tired all the time is because your body isnt getting what it need to be NOT tired. The Human Body is not supposed to be tired. Because of the foods we eat these day, we are not getting the nutrient because the food lacks the vital minerals and nutrients need for normal healthy life. You may need to change your diet as well.If your eating too much your body expends a lot of energy to digest it, then you get tired. If you eat too little your body doesn't have the energy to do everyday functions properly.\nCheck out this website below it talks about this in greater detail and has a great vitamin called Vibe.\nP.S. you shouldn't take a vitamin in pill form, it has glues and other binders to keep in the shape it in and you get very little nutrients from it because ot that.\nEmail me if you have other questions.\n\nhttp://www.enivamembers.com/?id=brandon

All the diet and sleep suggestions are great ideas.  I have found that if you can help your body deals with stress you can sleep better, that will help the tired feeling in it's self.  I suffer from FMS.  I take an inexpensive Vita B complex.  You can buy it at Wal-Mart or any drug store.  Vita B help your body deal with stress.  Also you could try Melatonin.  It help to adjust your biological sleep cycle.  This could be more pricey but it could help.  Good Luck.

Do you know why you are tired?  Are you getting less sleep?  Are you experiencing more stress?  Are you getting enough exercise and eating a well-balanced diet?  If any of these are the culprit then sleep more, cut down on stress, exercise, eat a well-balanced diet.  If you don't feel any of these are the problem you may want to visit your doctor.  There may be an underlying medical problem.

There are a lot of reasons you could be tired they could be a simple as not getting enough sleep or they could be more health related you might be dehydrated or you could have a problem with your thyroid. You should try drinking a big glass of water and lying down for a while. I would also talk to your doctor about the way you are feeling. Good luck.

Hmmm, Was about to tell you to go to bed earlier, but you already say you covered that..  Try going to bed an hour earlier and see what happens...\n\nBest thing is to get up and walk around at least once an hour - if you are sitting at a desk all day, its natural to get bored and then tired...

Your body's natural rythm causes it to expect ro be already in bed and asleep long before 2:30 AM, and out of bed and active long before noon the next day.\n\nSleeping 12 and 13 hours a day isnt any better than sleeping 3 or 4 hours a day.  If undersleeping, you remain legitimately tired.  With oversleep, you get groggy, dopey and thick headed, and have a propensity to go right back to sleep (if alllowed) and make matters even more screwed up.\n\nI used to have your problem, and solved it, at least partially, by going to bed by 10:00 PM and getting myself up at 5:30 AM.\n\nSometimes less IS more.\n\nAlso sleeping too much can be a symptom of depression, so you might ask you doctor about it...

Normally I'd say speak to a doctor. It sounds like delayed sleep phase syndrome and melatonin may be useful for it. Alternatively, you might want to look for a job whose hours suit you ie night shift.

Hmm. You may need to see a doctor specializing in sleep disorders. Is your home very warm and poorly ventilated? That may also be contributing to your problem. You may need to get more exercise and improve your diet, because many of the foods we eat in modern society are full of preservatives, sugar and salt and too much of these things can be very draining on our energy and vitality. Try eating more fresh fruits, whole grains, vegetables and fish and drinking more water. Severly cut back on your intake of red meat, sweets, softdrinks, and processed carbohydrates like white bread, pasta, white rice, crackers,chips, ect.

Are you certain you are sleeping WELL for the entire 8 hours?  Any nightmares/headaches, worying , snoring/gasping for air?  Do you get up often to go to the bathroom or because there is noise in your bedroom? [You could get ear plugs, or run a fan/humidifier, or get sound proofing cork - if you're in a loud area]\n\n\nOften people have poor sleeping habits and these can be easy to fix:  \n\nRemove distractions from bedroom [no:  TV bills books magazines]\nClear your thoughts of any worries before going to sleep\nDon't eat, exercise or worry 3 hours before sleep\nExercise more during the day & sleep earlier at night\nTake vitamins \nDrink lots of water [8-10, 8 oz glasses per day]\nCut back on caffeine\nEat & Sleep at regular times \n\nIf these don't help see a doctor.  \n\nYou could have anemia a vitamin deficiency or sleep apnea, among other possibilities.  \n\nhttp://www.lifetimetv.com/reallife/health/features/tired_allthetime.html\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_4548_wake-revived.html\nhttp://www.hipusa.com/eTools/webmd/A-Z_Encyclopedia/sleepdisordersbasics.htm\nhttp://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleeplibrary/index.php?secid=&id=51\nhttp://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/fatigueprimer\nhttp://www.newtechpub.com/phantom/faq/osa_faq.htm\nhttp://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsConditions/SleepApneacc.html

if you go sleep at 9 pm, and wake up at 6 am, you are getting 9 hours of sleep, which is plenty. If you are still feeling tired, think about why. Are you eating healthy food? enough iron? enough excercise?

There are ways to retrain your body clock. Go see your doctor and ask about them. There could also be a physiological problem here that needs to be addressed such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or some other such problem. Otherwise, your doctor will have some good suggestions. A sleep clinic might be in order. Perhaps your problem is that you aren't sleeping properly and your body is tired in the morning.

Don't over excercise, you'll wear yourself out-\ntry changing it up- go swimming or just walk or if you have some friends that like to excercise ask them to join you or a parent- it can be good bonding time- if you are part of a gym- try some yoga, it's toning and strengthening.\nIf you are still tired, see if maybe certain foods are getting to you, sugary foods and bread can make your system go into a slump making you too tired- try more fruit or vegetables.  If your mom can ask her to get you some Iron - like geritol- personally I take HemaPlex that I get from a natural store- it has alot of other useful vitamins in it.  Also try to have more protein- if you are a vegetarian then have the tofu ...  If you go to the library you can ask the librarian where to find the health books, you can read all about Omega acids and stuff like that that can be useful to you and your family...  Also, sometimes when your tired you just need a quick small walk.\n\nSince you say you are very tired I also urge you to watch out what tim of day you exercise, if it's the middle of the day in very hot weather the sun could just be too much for your body.\n\nDrink plenty of water, sometimes tiredness can stem from not enough water inthe body.  Don't have soda or coffee, the caffiene in those will make you more dehydrated.  Plus thing containing CornSyrup are not really made for the body to break down.  Stay away from diet/fatfree or fake sugar stuff- those are full of harmful chemicals that can also wreak havoc on your body  no matter your age!\n\nTeas like White tea or Green tea can help you with energy as well.  \n\nTry going to bed at a regular time and waking up at a regular time.  "Every half an hour before midnight is more important than any hour after midnight".  Trust me.  But also because there are scientific reasons for it.  The human body actually "repairs" itself at night- I think PBS or anyother medical/health journal at the library or on the net can help you read more about that.  I believe they said your blood and cells are "cleansed" at these crucial hours, especially since you are still young.\n\nLimit the time you spend on the computer to an hour.  Your brain needs real nourishment not just entertainment.\n\nAlso- a book called "eat right for your type" if you know your blood type can point you in the direction of some healthy food for you- if you are eating the right foods then you will notice that your body will not be as tired either.\n\nTalk to your parents.  If this tiredness persists you may want to see a doctor.\nNotice the food you are or have been eating when you feel tired- and let your doctor know about it.\n\nAlso if you must sleep during the day limit it to 20-30 minutes any more than that and it will be harder to sleep at a decent hour at night.\n\nI do wish you the best of luck in this,  sorry I wrote soooo much.

it seems like worrying about sleep has become your biggest worry.  A very vicious cycle.  Try to give yourself a few days when it doesn't matter.

I need 8 hours of sleep to wake refreshed. And I still feel tired most of the time.

I had that problem once and it was my caffine intake. I was drinking so much soda that it made me tired in that way. Not sure what your habits are but try drinking water. Its incredible how great it makes you feel if you drink enough. Try water for a week or so.
