Always tired?!
Question:
Always tired?
I seem to constantly feel tired. So much so that I have to sleep during the day- usually about 4 hours. At night I generally sleep well- generally 7-8 hours. My life is no more busy than it was a few months ago when this first started happening. It is so frustrating- I fall asleep in class, at home and even at work! I workout each day, I'm a cross-country runner, so its not fitness. I have normal levels of iron and I have a balanced diet.
Is it normal to feel sleepy ALL the time? It gets in the way- I can't do things I want to, because I fall asleep without meaning to. I have to have coffee and energy drinks just to stay awake!
Thanks in advance.

I believe you should see a doctor. He/she will likely order a blood work first to look at your metobolics and hormone levels.
Ditch the caffeine. A caffeine addiction can make you tired.
