Answer 3

I am 27 y/o female. For the past few months I have been tired constantly. Even after 8-9 hours sleep, I can't wake up. Lately it's gotten worse, and in addition I am constantly hungry. I eat small meals all day, but I'm still starving. I am gaining weight quickly, even though I continue to excersize. I'll eat a large meal and then feel too full, and kind of sick. Then about an hour later- I am painfully hungry again. The weight gain sucks! And I'm so tired of being tired! Any suggestions?

Answer 4

ccording to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, "Sleep is as essential for your well-being as food and water." You probably remember staying awake all night studying for a big exam, or getting up in the middle of the night to catch the first flight of the day and then the feeling of exhaustion hits the next day. However, when you feel extremely tired or sleepy all of the time and don't know why, you may need to see a doctor. There are many causes for excessive sleepiness and some simple lifestyle changes may improve your life significantly.

Answer 5

Significance
Feeling tired all of the time can impact your quality of life. You may no longer have the energy to enjoy the activities that had previously provided you pleasure. Your exhaustion and lack of enjoyment with life may lead to depression, which can exacerbate your sleepy feeling.
Medical Causes
According to the National Sleep Foundation, "One of the primary causes of excessive sleepiness among Americans is self-imposed sleep deprivation." You may feel that you can get more done if you limit the amount of sleep you get. The Foundation states that on average, people get roughly 20 percent less sleep than they did a century ago.



Sleep disorders may contribute to extremely tired feelings. Sleep apnea and snoring can disturb your nighttime rest, leaving you feeling tired all day. Insomnia is another condition that can make you tired. Restless leg syndrome is a condition that worsens at night and can disrupt sleep as well.



Emotional problems including anxiety, depression and grief can compound feelings of exhaustion.



Finally, medical problems should be considered. Conditions such as anemia, hypothyroidism, cancer or chronic fatigue syndrome can leave you feeling lethargic and exhausted.
