I am always tired. I've been tested for sleep disorders and the doctors say nothing is wrong. I mostly get tired after lunch. I almost always fall asleep watching tv. I can't even lay on the couch with my boyfriend without falling asleep. I've even fallen asleep sitting around a campfire, or while at parties! Any suggestions?

Did you doctor check your blood iron levels? I felt the same way until the doctor found that my iron was too low. Now I take iron pills every day, and don't have the problems.

The people that are telling you to sleep more hours at night are way off. Sleeping more hours during the night is not going to make you less tired during the day. In fact, you’re so young that you should not have a problem with less than that of an older adult. Some people can sleep 4 or 5 hours a night and be just fine through out the day. Taking naps is during the day can be a healthy routine. But taking to long of a nap has been proving to be detrimental to sleep routines. 20 minutes is the ideal nap time to give you a "recharge" during the day. Drinking lots of coffee, soda, or energy drinks during the day will also cause you to feel increasingly more and more tired. The caffeine content in the drinks give you body sugars, your body will burn sugar first and fast, it will definitely give more energy, but it will be temporary. Consequently the more caffeine you drink day in and day out the more it will take for you to get the same energy rush, in the long run it will make your feel increasingly tired during the day. Basically those 3 things or the biggest misconception to CFS. (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) People have different reason for feeling fatigue day to day. It could be something as little as an Iron deficiency, Hypothyroidism (reduced function of the thyroid gland), or some chronic infections (e.g., Hepatitis B or C) or malignancies such as Hodgkin's lymphoma can also cause fatigue. Many psychiatric disorders and/or medical treatments can cause symptoms of fatigue. Fatigue and somnolence are common symptoms of depression, dysthymia and bipolar disorders. Any subtype of schizophrenia or delusional disorders can cause fatigue. The same is true of eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia nervosa. I know that was all in Greek. It is important that a medical examination be performed to rule out these disorders and conditions before making a diagnosis of CFS.

Do you eat alot of fodds off and on with sugars? If you are doing this your blood sugar levels become like a rollarcoaster depending on how your body handles the sugar. You should get your sugar levels checked, as you may not even have a sleep disorder, but a glycemic problem.

I have the same thing. I agree with the first poster. It may be linked to blood sugar. I'm hypoglycemic. I found that I must maintain proper blood sugar levels or I feel exhausted. Sometimes that requires taking a sugar boost (glucose tablets) other times staying away from them.
Also stay away from caffeine.

You probably have a sleep disorder, possible sleep apnae.
If you snore a lot, that is probably the case. You are not sleeping good at night. You need to see a Doctor and they have devices that will help you sleep without drugs.
