why do i get tired?

Question

i used to see people sleep during the after noon and say wow how can they sleep? what a waste of life.

but this past year ive begun to sleep at 3 or 4 to 6 or 7 and i hate it

the feeling is i get really comfortable and dne i noticed getting sleepy and i go like omg this feels so good let me sleep and i do it and regret it when i wake up

i cant do this i have homework every day!

plus when i read a book i get that sleepy feeling also

BUT BUT if i am sleepy and someone says lets go eat and i go ill be wide awake again

is there anything i can do to stay awake during the afternoons?

i think walking around the house and drinkign water might help

but i gotta get the reading going and not sleep! (maybe not reading at my house would make sure im awake?)

OH YA I JUST REMEBERED I HAVE anaemia BUT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I NEEVER FELT TIRED...COULD IT BE FROM THIS OR IM JUST USED TO SLEEPING AND A FEW DAYS AWAKE WILL HELP ME?

Answer 1

Anemia is probably your main culprit. It means you have very low iron which causes very low energy/tiredness. You need to get more iron in your body, either through eating meat and/or taking iron tablets. If I were you, I would do both for a while and you should start seeing that you have more energy. Don't put it off!

Answer 2

That happens to me alot too. You get tired early because you been up and active in school or work all day and your body just needs rest. That is a natural part of life so don't worry your little head off.
