Feeling tired all the time?

Question

I recently started school again a week ago and drastically changed my sleep schedule. During the summer, I'd fall asleep often at 2 or 3 AM, and wake up at around 11.

Now the latest I stay up is around 1:30, waking up at 6:30-7.

Since nothing else is going on/changing with my body other than the fatigue, I think it's probably the change in sleep schedule, though I'm somewhat hypochondriac (not to mention that diabetes runs in my family, though I don't have any other symptoms (which are dry mouth, tingling feet, frequent urination, etc.)

I also usually get used to it/it's not so hellish during the evenings, and I felt WONDERFUL before I started school.

Is my worrying unjustified?

Answer 1

Your body is just having a slow time adjusting to your new schedule. I don't think it's anything to worry about. Make sure you go to bed before 11:00 at night so that you get enough sleep to feel refreshed in the morning. Drink a hot cup of Chamomile Tea with honey in the evenings, this will help you relax and go to sleep. Also take a hot bath in the evening to relax your body and mind.

If you do this in a few weeks your energy level will start to change and you will not feel so tired.
