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.

oh my gosh yeah i know what you mean feeling real bad dizzy sleepy like your gonna pass out i went to the dr and they did test and my test come back negitive. But i was also thinking the changing of the weather and everything going on with the field around here can make you feel that way. My dr gave me some allergy medicine and it really has done better for me. Good luck you might want to go get it checked it can be something else you know how doctors are

- 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

I'm always fatigued before my periods. Try Midol or Pamprin usually works for me!

Try working out. Also, if you can't sleep at night try taking an overthecounter melatonin. You can find them at Walgreens. It helps your mood too. It will help you wake up a little better too. I'm often pretty lazy in the winter time, but have found that If I take a walk around the block, it gives me a little more energy and gets me motivated.

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.

Wow you're lucky.\nDepends, how much do you weight? \nIf you're at a good weight but still tired, treatment for fatigue could be a chance in exercise regime or diet. Maybe more outside activity - \nIf you're underweight and fatigued, eat more. \nIncrease omega-3 consumption. Increase Lean protein consumption. \nSoy products are like dreams :)

I have a few suggestions for you...\n\nI have insomnia and problems sleeping and staying asleep etc, due to a head injury, so I've tried nearly everything to get myself to sleep.\n\nFirst off, if you're in bed and you're not sleeping, get out of it and do something else. Try to keep your bed as a "sleep only" area. \nThat way, when you get in the bed again, you associate it with sleep.. and not like paperwork or phonecalls, etc.\n\nSecondly, tea or warm anything helps sometimes. There's actually a specific tea out there that I found at Albertsons, made by Celestial Seasonings, called Sleepy Time EXTRA. And there's a red flag that says "VALERIAN MAKES IT EXTRA!". Valerian root is a natural sedative. Taken in low doses I have found that it calms, or, in a tea such as the Sleepy Time (It's Chamomile Mint I think, really good with a little honey) it puts ya right to sleep. (high dose)\n\nThere's also another natural sleep aid called Kava. My mom found it in the healthfood store (Rainbow Market) in a little drink called Elixr. The bottle says to drink the whole thing, but I tried just one tablespoon and I was out like a light. I did some research on it, and apparantly the more frequently you take it, the higher dosages you'll need to be able to sleep. (http://www.elixirtonics.com/)\n\nAnd of course there's sleeping pills. Walgreens has "Tylenol PM". That works, or "Simply Sleep", which is essentially the same thing. But it was nice because it did not have me feeling groggy and ridiculous or hung over in the morning. I just woke up feeling refreshed.\n\nYou could also consider prescription sleeping pills. I just got an Ambien prescription... I tried it once and hated it though, guess it works differently for different people, etc. I was miserable all night and felt unrested and a prisoner in my own body. Like my body was dead, couldn't move, but my mind was racing. I was overheating and sweating and couldn't do a damn thing about it. So.. I haven't decided if I hate that or not, I'll have to give it another shot, but I'm hesitant to even bother... \n\nReading helps too.\n\nOr turn on the radio on a quiet channel, or a soothing cd or something, and get it nice and dark and before ya know it, it's time to wake up. It really works.  Just don't put on a station or something that you'll be singing along with, it doesn't quite work out.\n\nAnd sometimes I go in the yard and just breathe. The darkness and the cold air makes me want to bundle up in my bed and usually I just knock right out. Sometimes with a little coaxing from a warm drink too. (non alcoholic of course)\n\nWell then I heard some people drink (alcohol) to relax and calm down and eventually sleep but that's apparantly highly unrecommended.\n\nI always fall asleep on my side with the pillow even under my neck. Maybe you're having trouble with either your pillow or your sleeping position? I read online somewhere that sleeping on your back is bad for people that are prone to snoring who have sleep apnea, because it's harder to breathe and it's not a restful night if they even get to sleep. And I also read that sleeping flat on the belly isn't that great either because your neck is craned to one side, and could lead to neck problems. \nIf you're a belly sleeper, maybe try sleeping with one leg up so that you're not totally flat on the bed. It will also make it so that your neck isn't completely craned to the side, and the pillow can be adjusted around the head and maybe a separate one for under the chest or knee for good elevation so you don't suffocate yourself.\n\nOh and maybe a body pillow too... ever try just holding something to sleep? It could help... pillow, teddy bear, someone.\n\nSometimes when you feel really safe where you are, you'll just knock right out, without a second thought.\n\nGood luck, hope you can catch some

it could be the base of depression...talk to someone about how your feeling before you start to feel worse, or it could just be that your exhausted from over doing things and just need a good sleep to give your body time to repair

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.

Just try to de-stress and be sure you are getting enough sleep.  It sounds like you're irritable from being tired or frazzled.

Yeah, I am tired and bored. Painful not being at home in bed!

Big sympathy - so horrible to feel like this - hope it was a good night and worth it though!\n\nChuck on a tracksuit and a baseball cap and get yourself a couple of bottles of sparkling mineral water, some soluble Berocca, some food (like pie and chips!) the Sunday papers and some Haribo Star Mix.\n\nDrink all the water with a couple of Berocca tablets (it's a super ace multi-vitamin effort that works wonders) eat your high calorie food and then collapse with the papers and your Haribo on the sofa in front of some suitably terrible TV - I tend to find Hollyoaks works wonders.\n\nThen get yourself down to the pub early evening and have a couple of halves of lager and lime. \n\nHope you're feeling better soon :-)

Go to bed and get a good night's sleep, then go talk to someone about how you feel. Change your life: get a new job, move hosue, start doing different things on weekends (like go to bars instead of clubs etc etc). Just try to make your life interesting again.

Try exercise.  Even just walking will help.  Also eat a low fiber diet and drink non carbonated beverages until you are feeling better.*

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.
