I know everyone wakes up feeling groggy but for me, I feel like absolute shit every morning. Beyond exhausted, nauseous, headache, extreme lethargy, dizzy and lightheaded .... EVERY morning. It goes away once I’ve been up around 2 hours. I’m sick of it. Every morning I get Up thinking I’m going to have to call in sick it’s that bad. This has been the case for around two years now.

I’m 39 and my only health complaint is iron deficiency anaemia

Any of this sounding likely, OP?

I have fibromyalgia and wake up feeling exhausted or like I haven't slept regularly, when my sleep is normal (for me). I get the dizzy/nauseous feelings separately if I have a virtually sleepless night, or if I get woken up unnaturally in a deeper sleep phase in the early morning. I generally go to bed somewhere between 10-11:30, but often do t get to sleep until after midnight. When work or toddler allow, I can easily sleep to past 11am and still feel unrefreshed. It's so frustrating!

What time do you go to sleep?

@youvegottobekidding I was like this and it turned out that I have moderate sleep apnea. When I got my sleep results it showed that I was half waking constantly throughout the night. It's so quick and you don't fully wake-up, so you don't remember it in the morning, but you feel absolutely knackered because you've had bog-all actual sleep! It got to the point where I was struggling to stay awake in the afternoons because I was so tired.

Worth getting that checked out if everything else is ok.
