hi there, i'll get right to it.
my boyfriend (36) has always been tired, but recently he's started to be tired ALL day. i was thinking that it might be because he started a new job that has im work from 7am-6pm. meaning he usually gets up at 5.30 and doesnt get home till 6.30pm. then he sleeps around 9pm. that's monday to friday and saturday he has to work 8-5pm. he exercises (gym and football) whenever he can. oh and he goes out drinking with his friends (usually once a week).
he quit his job a week ago and is starting another one in a few weeks.
he already went to see a doctor who said that she's seen many teachers from that school with illnesses and that it's all probably just stress related. she took blood and got it tested (regular blood test), and everything came back fine.
i was wondering if it is normal for people to get more tired with age or if he could have something that might not show in a blood test. i guess i'll have to wait and see if his fatigue improves in the next months, then i guess it was just stress. but what else could it be?
any information or advice would be greatly apreciated. thanks ;-)
just thought i'd add that even on sunday-his day off he usually stays in bed all day cuz he's too exhausted o do anything (but play football every week). i find that he spends most of his time in bed-napping if he's not sleeping. oh AND he doesnt sleep right. he never sleeps for longer than a few minutes, then he wakes up, turns around and goes back to sleep for another few minutes. he's had this since he was little. he wakes up a few hundred times per night. any idea what that could be?
