ALWAYS TIRED!

Yes! For sure. I found that if I make myself exercise, even for 15 minutes, it helps. (exercise is my down fall)... Also, a multivitamin helped. I'm married with 3 kids at home full time and my step son on weekends. So, being tired is to be expected but some days it's hard to put one foot in front of the other. I just push through. Good luck!

I was that way until I put my self on a schedule, good diet and workout regimen. I make sure and workout at least 5 days a week and drink my Shakeology everyday. In the past 6 months to a year I have felt so much better. I also make sure I do a workout that kinda wears me out.

I suggest you get some blood work done. You could be anemic, Vitamin D deficient (very common in the winter and North), etc.

Do you take a multivitamin?

You might also want to see if you're getting the quality of sleep you need, especially if the amount of sleep you're getting doesn't seem to matter.

I'd look into a sleep study. Do you snore? Get yourself checked for sleep apnea. I was just talking to someone whose husband started falling asleep randomly during the day despite the fact that he seemed to have slept through the night. Turns out he really wasn't sleeping at any normal level, and had to get treatment. He was feeling better after it - I believe it involved sleeping in an air mask among other things.

I just started taking a multi vitamin and a big dose of vitamin D.

It doesn't matter if I sleep a lot or a few hours. I rarely feel rested when I wake up! Anyone else deal with this? Anything help?

how much water are you drinking?

Yep, it was my thyroid.

Husband had it as well and he has sleep apnea.

I would for sure talk to your doctor about it. As other people have mentioned, it could be a variety of things.

I never felt well-rested, and the more I slept, the more tired I felt. I'd often wake up with headaches, especially if I slept for a long time.

Then I had a sleep study and found out that I have sleep apnea. I used a CPAP for 4 hours during the sleep study and woke up feeling better than I'd ever felt in my life. It was truly a miraculous transformation for me.

Despite losing 100 pounds and maintaining for several years, I still have sleep apnea and sleep with my CPAP every night. It has been life changing for me.

I'd highly recommend that you talk to your primary care provider and request a work-up for your fatigue: blood counts, thyroid, glucose, and a sleep study.

Life is so much easier and more fun when you're not exhausted all the time.

There are a lot of things that could cause that: iron deficiency, thyroid acting up, hormones...

I would go see an endocrinologist. Mine checks those sorts of things....

Got blood work done, found my vitamin D3 was low, doctor suggested I take 2,000 Iu's of vitamin D3 daily. Talked to a few other doctors and they said it's a common problem, that they think they have never seen someone with the right D3 levels.

I have not been eating right! I don't exercise on a regular basis. I need to get my water intake up. I don't have ins so I have to try the easy things first and go from there. How many calories should I aim for? Some days I eat 1200 and some 2500.

Set MFP to lose 1.5 pounds per week. Make sure you choose the appropriate activity level for your daily life. How much does it tell you to eat? Remember, when you exercise, you eat more for that.
