^ Thanks guys I appreciate your replies...
Well, last night I went to sleep instead of revising so hopefully I will be awake enough to do twice the amount tonight....

^ I can quite believe that Sara, Im hibernated more times out of 10 than I am awake at the moment!

Well at least as namakenomo said Im not alone!

Anyone else who's tired? And how are you coping? Please feel free to contribute :smile: :biggrin:
I just went and put my daughter down to sleep for her nap, and she wouldn't settle so I lay down on the bed next to her.....and fell asleep myself for over an hour!

woops - was meant to put the washing machine on!

I have been going to bed at about 3am everynight (morning) and if I have uni the next day I have to be up at 8.30am and it is killing me. I spend all day at uni yawning and struggling to stay awake during long lectures.
I try going to bed earlier but I just can't sleep...
Mornings just arn't for me I guess.

Same here, ever since I got bk to uni i've hardly slept, mainly because my bed in halls is too hard so i can't get comfy and then people are making a racket until about 5am, having food fights and yelling etc. It's usually because they're drunk. They're normally nice, half decent people when they're sober but alcohol turns them into morons :rolleyes: Anyway, i'm sitting here with my eyes drooping as a result of 6 hours sleep over 2 days :mad: not good

It's stress most probably, make sure you take some time out just to relax each day

EXERCISE! I've recently taken up swimming two or three times a week and it's really helped me. I used to actually have M.E. so I definitely know about being tired and even when I was better I was tired all the time. The swimming is not only good for me but I generally feel more awake. Afterwards of course I can be quite knackered but I think it helps me sleep. Also, when you go to bed, you don't have that feeling of "I'm knackered again for no reason". You feel like you deserve it.

I hope that makes sense and that you give it a go. It helped me at least :s-smilie:

Thanks I will do :biggrin:
I do feel a little better today, but tbh I dont feel amazingly awake.
I wish I could go to bed now, but we have a lecture at 4.30 so I cant :<

I think I may go and have a sandwich :biggrin:
As I said before, glad to know Im not alone...

I know how you feel but not due to exam stress or anything, Im anemic so Im tired all the time no matter how much sleep I have. Im actually used to it. I dont know what it feels like to not be tired, its been so long. :smile:

Stay awake all night and don't go to sleep til the next day - that should sort your sleeping pattern out, although you might be walking around like a zombie, I guarantee you'll go to sleep easily the next day, at a reasonable time :p:

Ditto, except I'm not anemic. At least you know what's wrong with you.

Hey I'm anemic too, have been a for a very long time :frown: , am tired all the time no matter how many tablets I have am still the same after an hour. I'm pretty much used to it aswell, but sometimes I wish it'd go away.

I feel the same, and don't have any exams! I had a final MAJOR project to do, which has now been handed in but it's being assessed so I'm worried about it still :s-smilie:

sometimes a short nap works, sometimes I feel more tired.. meh :s-smilie:

I know I'm not anemic because I was able to give blood only a few weeks ago..
Saskia-

i used to be up every morning at 7 until i was about 17, then it all went downhill and im not sure why. I really struggle to get up before 10 now and seem to need 10+hrs of sleep :frown:

spacecowgirl89- I tried you're theory of staying up all night and day. Then you can sleep the following evening...

OMG it worked!!!!! :congrats:
And I do feel a lot better now I slept for 14 hours last night....lol

But I am hoping this sorted now. Well at least till monday, when Im sure just the thought of the beginning of the week will tire me out!

thanks x

Yes, the last few days at school, I have been fine. Then, when I come home, I am absolutely shattered like now. I think it's patrly cos my period is due, and my body is trying to adapt to school too. It sucks, got so much work to do :frown:

I'm always tired, i fell asleep in english today and now the teacher hates me.. it seems every lesson i go to, my eyes start to close and i can't do anything about it. The only thing that helps is getting more sleep but i can't get to sleep easily because of worrying about stuff etc so energy drinks will have to make do :P
