I've been tired lately. If I don't sleep for about 2 hours in the afternoon I'm dead all day. Anyone know why?

I turned 31 a few months back so I thought it was an age thing, but I've been requiring more sleep. I suffered from insomia all my life so this is new to me.

This has been going on for a couple of months now.

I have had insomnia all my life as well and I have had periods like that as well. It could be a diet or exercise thing - bodies can be picky animals, but it also may be a stress thing. The last time I had a bad period of needing to sleep like that, I was adjusting to a new job. It was "good" stress because I love my job and it was a great improvement over the previous one, but my mind was constantly active. I wasn't used to handling all of that in addition to the usual insomniac tiredness. If you have had something "new" happen in your life - good or bad, that could be why.
