I go to the gym 5 days a week, mostly doing HIIT & lifting weights, I take 10k steps every day and my diet is about 70/30 clean/treats (you have to live too).

Guess what? I'm still tired. Because I don't sleep for long enough & the quality of the sleep I get isn't great.

Its a bit patronising to assume that anyone who is tired or has sleeping issues is a sloth with KFC running through their veins.

I apologise if that is how you interpreted what I was saying, I did not intend to comes across as condescending.
Sleep related issues are generally an indication of an problem within the body.
Lack of quality sleep can be linked to psychological issues also such as anxiety.
Yoga, Meditation and mindfulness classes can also be very helpful.

My partner had a sleep issue and underwent sleep testing. They put a monitor on him for 7 days, his issue was related to a sleep apnea

What do you eat everyday?

How much processed foods? When is the last time you ate fruit, vegetables, fish?
When did you exercise last? Walk , Run , Light weights, swim?

Don't even try say 'I don't have time'.. I bet you have time for TV every evening or pints in the evening or weekends.
Stop at the gym in the mornings before work or in the evening on the way home and do 30-40 mins everyday.

Swap Chinese , fried , chipper fast 'food' for something natural, meal prep in advance if your short on time.
This is all 100% possible if you want to feel alive again.

My day.. up at 6am .. Gym for 6:30, out, showered and dressed for work by 7:45am. At work for 9am.

Food in lunch box, left overs from night before or raw chopped veg with grilled chicken or fish. Boiled mixed veg with rice or big mixed salad with lots of spinach.

home at 7pm, 30mins boiling veg and grilled chicken / fish.
do some laundry, brisk walk or evening exercise class. tidy house, read, chat with family.. watch the odd soccer match or Netflix show. In bed for 9:30 - 9:45 pm .. Alarm set for 6am.

Big gym workout early Saturday & Sunday mornings. Feel amazing.

No alcohol, occasional meal out at weekends, depending on social calendar.

If thats what feeling alive consists of, I'm happy enough feeling dead.

The word "boiled" is the most unappetising but commonly used word I can imagine when added next to food.

Truckermal · 23-10-2018 04:23PM

I get up at 3am every morning normally 6 days every week and I work a 7 day Rota so including weekends! I used to get breakfast and coffee at 7am and I'd be fit for bed after it but I'm eating healthy stuff so I only get tired at 6pm.

Pyr0 · 23-10-2018 04:24PM

Anything less than 7/7.5 hours sleep and I feel sluggish and tired in the mornings.

Noveight · 23-10-2018 05:21PM

I've gotten in to the habit of having the lights out at 11pm. Alarm goes off at 7:15 and I'm on the road at 7:45. That's a pretty solid 8 hours so I'm rarely sluggish in the mornings.

IvySlayer · 23-10-2018 05:26PM

If I get 5-6 hours sleep I'm good but less or more than that I feel sluggish...

Dalomanakora · 23-10-2018 05:42PM

Always exhausted. I eat healthy foods (almost nothing processed bar cheat meals), daily walks, relatively physical job, 8 hours of sleep.

I've got illnesses though so until they're resolved, I'm told that's normal :pac:

Greyfox · 23-10-2018 05:57PM

Always Very tired but that's cause it's hard to turn the playstation/Netflix off at a reasonable time.. I'd love to sign on the dole for 3 months to clear my gaming/tv backlog : )

OldMrBrennan83 · 23-10-2018 05:58PM

I'm tired 24/7.

freshpopcorn · 23-10-2018 06:21PM

When I wake up I always feel tired and want to go back to bed but after a few minutes I'm wide awake and have intention of going back to bed.

AllForIt · 23-10-2018 06:29PM

Yes I do and I know it's down to drinking too much caffeine. I've given up the booze, the fags and my only vice now is coffee.

SilverPenney · 23-10-2018 06:32PM

I was always naturally an early riser. Have no problem jumping out of the bed at 4:30-5:00 and going running (which is normally 5-6 days a week). It has its downsides though, normally mentally and physically exhausted by 8 and fast asleep by 10.

Got a 10 months old son at home, so I'm pretty much always tired. It's at the stage where I'm recording Match of the Day on a Saturday because 'it's not over until 11:30!"

Also I've never been happier.

Ha ha, the series link for motd was set a looooong time ago.

I'm not tired in the mornings, alarm goes at 05:15 (I may or may not be awake beforehand) and by the time the toothbrush is in the gob I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed. In to bed somewhere between 22:00 - 22:30 usually.

backspin. · 23-10-2018 06:55PM

From April to September I had no bother getting up. Into work early etc. This last couple of weeks it's a chore to get up. Keep hitting snooze button.

Hmmm

Often sleep threads will get the “I don’t need more than 5 hours” guys. This took longer.

I try sleep before midnight these days. Apparently it’s not just what you get but when you sleep. 4am to noon isn’t as good as 11pm to 7am.

Ray Palmer · 23-10-2018 09:00PM

For people who keep hitting snooze set your alarm a little earlier like 7 minutes for a week then expand or retract over a 15 minute range for a couple of days.

You will find a time that feels better not far from when you want to get up.

You are trying to find the gap in your sleep pattern where you don't interrupt a deep sleep. Sleeping a little less can make a huge difference

I tried power napping for a while and felt great but very hard to do in a workplace.

I have habit of being a night owl but if you can sleep a few times in a day you can have it all

Put a blue light filter on your phone once it hits 9pm. Don't stay up too late, get 8 hours sleep or whatever you personally need.

There's blue light option on most laptops too. As well as being good for sleep it protects your eyesight from degrading.

Mine goes black and white but I'm not sure if that's as good as the way a blue light filter goes.

Yes of course, happy medium, but if people are wondering why the feel so tired and eternally unhealthy.. the answer will more than likely be in what they are doing to their bodies.

If you look to overseas lifestyles with prolonged life expectancy and far lower obesity rates their lifestyle is the polar opposite of how the majority of our nation live.

They don’t live like you either. It’s a simpler life with exercise automatically built in.

'Stop at a gym on the way to work...'

Yeah that'll work.

A lot of posters are being dismissive of this but there's a lot of things in it that will certainly contribute to a healthy body and mind which in turns kicks tiredness

How much you do is another matter

r93kaey5p2izun · 23-10-2018 10:40PM

I'm always exhausted. My health isn't great at the moment so that's a factor, especially my thyroid. I've always had sleep problems though. I don't get to bed til 1 or 2 most nights and don't sleep before 3, then up at 7. I'm better at getting up if it's bright though so can't wait for the clock to go back for some improvement in that for another while.

If you're a laptop junkie like myself, getting Flux for your laptop really helps. Removes the white light more and more the later it gets.

Thank fcuk I no longer get obliterated on Fridays and Sundays and can recover over the weekend.

I’m in my 50’s and get up at 5.30 am 7 days a week to face into milking a herd of cows without a bother. Haven’t had a break since January 2017. Pure misery I know but I’m baffled at how someone I. Their 40’s can be so wrecked.

KERSPLAT! · 23-10-2018 10:57PM

If I get 5 or 10 hours sleep, it makes no odds, I'm always just as tired but usually I can shrug it off by 10am.

Work can get full on and stressful which I assume adds to it, then you have football, cycling and busy weekends. I don't mind too much

People are different, imagine that

Are you tired when you get up in the morning
