Subject: RE: Chronic Fatigue?Just a thought here, but have you had a thyroid test done lately? Fatigue and tiredness are classic symptoms of an underactive thyroid. Not saying that that is your problem...but it might be a good idea to rule it out.
For what it's worth...I do understand what you're feeling. I too, feel as though no matter how much sleep I get, it's not enough. I take a 1.5 - 2 hour nap nearly everyday before I go to work (I work evenings ). I wake up at 4:30am on weekdays and head straight for the gym for a 3-4 hour workout. On weekends, I'm up at 6am to get ready for my long (60-100 mile ) bike rides. I work from 3-10pm, and generally get to bed no later than 10:30pm...so I average around 6 hours of sleep on weekdays, and a little bit more than that on weekends. I feel tired ALL THE TIME...even after I take a 2 hour nap! Sometimes I catch myself dozing off at my desk during work hours. I do have a mild case of hypothyroidism and am on medication for it, but I still feel as though I'm sleep-deprived. Sometimes I feel like I could just go into "hibernation mode" and sleep for like a week straight.
Sorry I'm not much help to you...just letting you know you're not alone. |
