I will start off by saying I am absolutely fine at the moment but this has plagued me since I was at least 15 and I am now 28.
Sometimes I wake up and I'm tired. I haven't had a bad night's sleep but it's like I'm in a fog. When I wake like that I know I will struggle that whole day. I'm a sahm now but when I worked I would force myself to go in but feel barely able to function. I'd sit at my desk and try to focus on simple tasks, but things like walking to the station would be really hard. I don't know if I'm describing it well but it's like a fuzziness in my brain.
I go through periods where I have several days/weeks/even months of feeling tired all the time. Not always as extreme as it can be but still too tired compared to the sleep I get. And I can't do this now I have a child but I used to sometimes sleep for nearly 24 hour periods and still feel like that.
Another thing that I'm not sure if it's related is some days I will feel completely fine, not groggy or tired but the tiredness will take over me out of nowhere and I will just lie on the sofa and fall asleep. I usually only sleep for 5 or 10 minutes and feel much better when I wake.
I have been to the gp a couple of times a few years ago and said I was tired all the time. Both times they did a blood test and my results were normal. I don't think I have ever impressed Just how tired I get though.
I have been fine for a while. I do think the sun helps though I still sometimes get it in summer. I have been taking vitamin d and a vitamin b complex tablets for about a month so I'm not sure if they could be helping. Any ideas what this could be? Sorry for the really long op but it bothers me as I'm generally quite an active person but can't be on those days. And it makes life hard too.
