I sleepy fairly well last night. I have already had one 2 hour nap today but I am still exhausted and would love to go lay down again. Any ideas of why I would be so exhausted? I am still going to go to the gym and exercise. I feel I over ate at lunch and I need to work if off before dinner.

    sometimes napping makes me more tired. i think its because if it lasts too long, your body starts drifting into deeper sleep. just jump around to get your blood flowing, maybe drink a cup of tea, you should be fine!

    ps it could also be from the big meal you ate, but working out should overcome that too :)

    Any recent drastic changes in the weather where you're from? Not so much the heat but the humidity knock me out.

    Consider whether you're deficient in any vitamins? Particulary B vitamins or iron. That could make you feel really drained. Just a possibility....

    I have been exhausted the past 2 days and could not figure out why until this afternoon when my monthly visiter should up. Was not expecting it so soon.

    I find if I don't eat clean, or I drink alcohol, I get very tired and demotivated. I just don't have enough energy. Maybe look thru your diet diary for the last few days.

    Maybe you are coming down with something.

    Mary, consider letting everyone take a look at your food diary so we can get a feel for how many carbs, sugars, proteins, etc. you are getting. The answer might be there.

    That is true. I probably need to start taking vitamins. I drink about 10 glasses of water a day and excercise in the heat and workout pretty hard and I might need to add some vitamins to keep my body going.

    Is this chronic, or it only happened this one night?

    Iron deficiency can cause anaemia which will make you feel knackered! Perhaps you should get a blood test? It's the one thing that I find a bit worrying when you log your food, you never seem to get enough iron, unless you eat a fortified cereal in the morning. :grumble:

    Are you saying I don't get enough iron? If that is true then that might be my problem.
