Why am I so tired?

Favorite Answer

You need to try and get to bed by 9pm at night and try and get a few more hours sleep.

Also make sure your eating enough protein. Not enough protein can make you more tired and not sleep enough.

I'd also consult your doctor and talk about this....Show more

You are doing everything to exert your body so that you get good sleep. but you have restricted hours of sleep to 6. you may not be aware that each one have differnt needs of sleep hours as one has different needs for food.

Secondly you may be putting your waking hours too much reading, watching TV

If the mind is overstimulated at the sleeping time, you will end up waking till moring comes.

You can take the hot water bath before sleep, this will give you sound sleep, Also avoid stimulating beverages during the day and at night time.

However review your waking hours how you spend them and restruture.

other things are fine with you....Show more

U and a million other awesome moms out there.
Its not easy - but you sound like you are doing your best.
everyone needs a time out from doing their best to refuel.
can you get your kids to help more around the house (cooking or easy prepared meals - laundry)?
flex hours at work or take a day or two off when no one is home? if you have a significant other ask for a nice long massage or if possible pay a pro. Please don't wait to take care of yourself - you are too important to those kids. Tell them how you feel and need some extra TLC. Hang in there and try to fit in what you really enjoy. U have my admiration....Show more
