    Yeah, I think that you have an issue of sleep quality. You may not be getting enough REM sleep.

    See a sleep specialist and have a sleep study done.

    I also suggest a sleep study. If you have sleep apnea it won't show on the blood test and it will drain you of energy no matter how much you sleep.

    Running also energizes me, given time.

    Some people just need 9 hours of sleep. 7-9 is considered normal. I also need 9' which sucks. I started going to an acupuncturist, at my doctors recommendation and it's done wonders for my energy levels. Oh, and I have more energy without caffeine- it seems to interfere and make me tired if caffeine is a consistent part of my diet.

    I need at least 9 hours too and often I'm still tired. I have had a sleep study and blood tests. I did have a vitamin d deficiency and once I got that taken care of I felt a little better but still needed nine hours and still do.

    No matter how many hours of sleep I get I am so tired all day from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. I have to get at least 9 hours of sleep, anything less I can barely function. I have gotten blood test done and everything is Good and that's good news , but what is wrong with me then? I love to run and yesterday was the first day I could weather permitting and I felt great! Maybe its just the season? What do you guys do for energy that is healthy? My 4 cups of coffee a day is getting me no where.

    I love to work out. This morning I barely got out of bed at 4 a.m. as usual (probably because my eyes didn't close until a little after ten, which is unusual), but once I did and got to the gym, I was fine. I lifted and did a cardio machine, and I feel great.

    Glad you blood tests done.

    Are you eating enough? If I don't eat enough for my activity level, I will get worn out pretty quickly.

    Given the above, I also suggest getting a second opinion.
