There are a few reasons that make you so tired:
1. Low level of iron: You can improve by taking multi vitamins that consist of iron
2. A syntomp of other health problem. Do not worry but do not delay, make an appointment with your doctor.
3. Exercise. Lack of exercise can depreciate your stamina. Do regular exercise. Just half an hour after you wake up in the morning will help. Simple exercises that you can practice are skipping, push the wall and star jump.
4. Lack of self motivation. You may get bored with your routine of works. Motivate yourself. Remember life is not just contain of work and home. Life is not a rat race. It is about helping each other
5. Go holiday. May be you need a break. Get away to some places like beaches or hills where you can find peace and tranquility hence refresh yourself.
6. Avoid coke. Especially do not take coke with burger or hot dog. Studies show that, this can affect your mind and body system in which you would feel anxiety and unhappy.
7. The best sleeping time for adults are 5-6 hours.
Hope my advice would help you.

6hrs on the weekend really isn't enough. there are some people that can live with that, but a doctor will tell you that 7-9 per night is where you want to be. Also, this has to be uninterrupted sleep. do you have a problem that keeps waking you up at night? If you wake up several times during the night then your 8 hrs of sleep will actually feel like 4 or 5. You can also make changes to your diet and eat more fruits that have natural sugars and drink more water. Drinking water during the day is supposed to be better than coke or coffee actually. If you go on a long trip water will help you avoid jet lag too.

You need to make a doctors appointment and have a through check-up.
Changes in sleeping habits can be caused by hormonal or chemical changes in the body, stress and even thyroid problems.
If you have begun to go through perimenopause, or menopause you can experience changes in sleeping habits and needs.
You could actually be suffering from mild depression and SAD which is a body reaction to the long grey days of winter.
You will also need to research the types of foods that you are consuming, and may need to begin taking a high quality multivitamin in order to help your body stay strong and alert.
Please have the medical checkup first and keeping a daily journal of sleep patterns, foods eaten and exercise will help to pinpoint problems which could be contributing to your sleep problems.
Good luck and have a good day.

Sounds to me like you need to increase your intake of the B group of vitamins. B12, in particular, deficiency will produce symptoms such as fatigue and exhaustion, heart palpitations, dizziness, nervousness, head and hand sweats, moodiness and irritability and inability to concentrate. You are probably also lacking in the other B group vitamins as they work synergistically. Do you also have sore tongue, lips and mouth, grainy and sandy feeling eyes and cracked skin around your fingernails??? This is B2 (Riboflavin) deficiency. Go to the chemist and get yourself a good quality multivitamin B complex supplement. Just ask the pharmacist which one is a good quality one to buy. Avoid synthetic vitamins, very hard to digest. You will get very quick relief from your symptoms once your body is receiving proper quantities of B vitamins.
PEACE & LIGHT

are you anemic. check with your doctor when was the last time you had a physical. sometimes people who are tired all the time, may be anemic meaning that they have low iron in their blood but only your doctor could tell you that. i would start by taking a vitamin supplement with iron, but certainly see your doctor as well.

Like everyone else has said, have your iron level checked. Depression may be another factor.
