Always sleepy, tired, and sluggish!?

I'm only 16, but I feel like an old person with no energy! What I mean by that is I'm always so sleepy that I just want to sleep all th time, even if I get good sleep, I'm always so sluggish and tired, even just getting up from sitting down is a struggle! And right now, I feel like I could fall asleep! How can I not feel this way?

    Please talk to your parents. Ask them to schedule you with a doctor for a full physical exam. In particular, have some blood tests done to check your blood chemistry.

    Look into your thyroid function. It might be possible that you have a hypo-active thyroid, meaning your body is not producing enough hormones.

    Another thing to check is your hemoglobin / red blood count. You might be anemic.

    Hope you find out what's causing this malaise.

    Feel better soon!.
