I go to work on weekdays and don't leave work until aout 7 or 8 at night. I sleep about 6-7 a night. During the weekend, I am so very exhausted to the point that I just want to sleep in the whole day and not even turn on the television just because I don't want to think. Being unproductive suddenly becomes fun. Is this normal and does anyone feel this lazy on weekends? Weekends is a time to be with your loved ones, I know, but I'm just so not up to it.

Sounds like you're working too much, but it's not complete abnormal to find yourself feeling this way.
Now that you've decided you're not quite happy with what you're doing, you should start thinking of ways to change your behavior so you like yourself more.

Yes, I do understand that you are pushing hard during the week a probably ignoring the fact that you are tired all the time. Yes, I have done that too and wanted to sleep until Monday morning every week end. I do want to mention that you may be suffering from anemia. In particular B12 anemia wipes you out but it occurs so slowly that we are busy and don't notice it. I am retired and have been very active all my life but when I got to the place where I slept 22 hours a day, I knew something was wrong. My Doctor suggested I see a psychiatrist because of the depression it brought. I got on line and searched until I found the B12 anemia and took the printed information to her, and she did order this particular test (6-8 months) later. Now, I am being treated and have my energy back but still have a monthly shot and take folic acid and a multi vitamin very high in B vitamins. You aren't lazy, but have something medically going on. Do take good care of yourself and try to eat healthy and take the vitamins. Explain to your Doctor what you have told me. I pray this helps. God Bless.

It could be normal for you to be so tired on the weekend given your hectic weekday schedule. However, I can`t help but wonder if there is anything else going on that is keeping you from wanting to spend time with your loved ones? Do you have to work until 7 or 8pm or are you choosing to?
If you have to work these hours, and you are happy in your relationships but really just physically tired, then yep - sounds normal. It never hurts to check with the doctor though, just in case! If however you are choosing to work these hours and unhappy, maybe you need to give some thought to what else is going on.

Of course. Weekends are viewed as your days off. You work the weeks and need time to recoup before hitting the mill again. Something that you might want to try to reduce the feeling if make sure your eating habits are regular and healthy. Drinking water during the day also helps as well.

I've been like that but it's because I'm deppressed, I think it's genetic in my case but it certaintly isn't healthy to want to be alone for 3 days without much interaction with anyone else. I like to be alone and that's my problem, I enjoy it so much and I don't want to be around other people during the weekends. It only destroys you and makes you weaker. Even when you want to be alone push yourself to hang out atleast one night with one or two people, go out, it will motivate you to be more active again. =]

I suggest increasing your sleep. I don' t think you are getting enough sleep. Even if you are working longer hours, you should be able to cope if you take care of yourself with eating regular meals and going to bed early. 9-10 hours,is what I would suggest!!!!!!!
Then you will have your weekends and to start enjoying life more.

Who was it that dictated to the rest of us that "The weekends were meant to be with your loved ones."
Hell... I always thought Weekends were made for Michelob.
To each his own I guess?
Personally... I prefer the company of ANYONE to the company of my so called "Loved ones." with the exception of my kids... But they're always here anyway so...

Do you take vitamins? You need to get a check-up. You could be anemic or have some other health problem. See a Dr.
