I'm unusually tired...is something wrong with me????!
Question: I get 8-9 hours of sleep per night. I'm dieting, but I'm still getting 1500-2000 calories per day. I exercise 15-40 minutes 5 x per week. I work 20-30 hours a week, but I have a very light school load this year. Yet, I've been really tired lately. Some days is worse than others, but I just feel like going back to bed. Is something wrong with me???

Could be hormonal if you are sexually active get a pregnancy test that will be the first thing a Dr checks so you may as well confirm it yourself. If that isn't it you may want to keep a diet journal and see if you are eating too much sugary foods like soda, candy and cookies/cakes - sugar is a real energy drain it will give you a temporary boost but over all leave you fatigued. At www.MyPryamid.gov you can get a realistic food plan for optimal health and energy. You can also get a simple blood test from your Dr to confirm if you have any virus or some other treatable condition. Good Luck!
Could you be pregnant?
Me too, i am always tired and i dont feel like talking
no... enjoy it before insomnia hits. because once it does you'll wish you were sleeping that much
You may have mono, or you might just be anemic. Try getting more iron in your body - good sources include dark green veggies, meats, GrapeNuts cereal, etc. Take a multivitamin. Also, make sure you're eating enough protein so that any highs and lows from carbs and sugars get moderated.
