I 'm not sure if its my sleep patterns, I have stopped working the night shift for some time, I still go to bed at 3 am somtimes and wake up at 9 or even 8 depending on the time my son gets up. But I feel so drained and tired that I feel like laying down to go back to sleep. BUT, the weird thing is, at about 6 pm, my energy level starts to rise. Usually at about 10pm , i feel tired but for a short while, a power nap like 5 to 10 min would do, then I'm energized and in full throttle at 12am. But even during the day, even after laying down and taking another nap, still doesnt do any good.

Make sure you're cutting out the caffeine at night, too. And since you say you feel tired around 10 pm, try going to bed at that hour, even if you have to take some Tylenol PM or Unisom to help you get and stay asleep. It always helps me when I have bouts of insomnia. Good luck!

You are only getting 5-6 hours of sleep per night. Be sure to get the full 8 hours. If you are really unable to fall asleep before 3:00am, maybe it's time to see a doctor.

I am going through the same thing you are man and i have found that exercise is the best thing. It makes you sleepy around mid day so you can sleep at a descent time and get back to a normal sleeping schedule

Get a sleep study done. You may have sleep apnea which will keep you from getting REM sleep. This is cumulative and will make you feel stretched very thin over time.

i agree that you should change your diet and try to get some more rest. if it continues, go to the doctor and get a few easy tests, including a test for mono (mononeucleosis). thats how i felt when i had it. you can get it from not getting enough rest, being around someone that has it, or even from water fountains. good luck and rest up!!

Maybe change your diet, drink more electrolytes like in Gatorade ...talk to a doctor also...um...exercise a little more.... and just sit and rest (not sleep) for a few minutes every few hrs. or so...
