Every night I get between eight or nine hours of sleep. That is, I'm in bed with my eyes closed and lights off. I don't sleep very well. I tend to wake up a few times every night. Once in a while I do sleep straight through the night. However, my dilemma is, no matter how much sleep I do get, I always wake up feeling like I haven't slept at all. I go through each day feeling unrested and exhausted. I'm on medications for epilepsy, and both have sleepiness and fatigue as side effects, but if I've been on both medications for years, wouldn't the side effects have worn off by now? I was anemic, due to another medication I was on, but I stopped taking it and am not anemic any more. My job requires me to be very active during the day, so I don't spend the day being lazy. I know it isn't normal to be this tired every minute of every day. Does anyone have any advice?
