So tired all of a sudden.. why?

Question

Almost everyday, I get so tired all of a sudden I feel like I am in slow motion and I pretty much fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. I feel so sleepy especially in the afternoon. I had my blood tested for anemia, hypothyroidism, and diabetes and the doctor said my blood shows everything as normal. Why do I get so tired so much? Am I naturally slothy?

Answer 1

You may not be getting enough sleep at night. You need at least 8 hours of interrupted sleep every night to feel rested all the next day.

Answer 2

Do you snore severely or have you ever been tested for "obstructive sleep apnea?" This can cause you to be sleepy from loss of REM sleep.

It isn't mono as you said that you get sleepy esp in the afternoon. Mono usually makes you so tired you feel like you were hit by a truck.

Might be depression, but the worse in the afternoon thing doesn't fit in nicely to that.

Answer 3

I get that too, used to be just some of the time, but its been every day for the last few weeks, dont think its malaria though, personaly I'm blaming giving up cigs.

naturally slothy?, did you type that question all at once?, a sloth would have had a few naps in there for sure

Answer 4

How old are you? Are you overweight? Do you snore? It might be sleep apnea...throws your blood oxygen levels into a rollercoaster and doesn't allow for deep, restful REM sleep. A respiratory therapist could give you a monitor for initial screening...then a sleep study would follow. Good luck!

Answer 5

Could be depression. I know it's lame to hear, but drink enough water (not soda), don't eat too much junk food and get enough sleep. Could be your body just needs some time to adjust to something going on mentally.

Answer 6

its because u might have been so lazy just couple of months or u might be a ejactor so stop eatin fooood and just hang out somewhere which u feel as your heaven

Answer 7

you probably have a diese called Mono...go get some bloodwork done and see what it is
