Here I am again!

Im not sure why I feel so tired all morning, I come to life about 2pm. I get a full nights sleep, and I am not pregnant

Mmmmm....I need to be more awake in the morning..

Anyone else like this??

Are you anaemic?
(One way to check for this is to gently pull down your lower eye lids. Does the area below your eye ball look nice and pink, or is it a bit too white? You can also get an indication in the same way from your lower gums.)

Could it be the lack of light?
Artificial sunlight lamps can really help some people to feel more awake and energetic in the winter.

Could it be that you go to bed too late? How many hours is a full nights sleep for you?

so if my eye lids are white is that a sign?

definatly dont think its lack of light I feel like this in the summer and on holiday too tbh

Go to sleep about 11.30 but wake once or twice in the night for a loo run..awake by 7.30ish is that too late?

twincrazy one way to tell if it's anaemia is to see if you get out of breath after you have climbed some stairs or gone for a walk up a small hill.
Also it makes you feel low .

I have a history of it so have an idea of the symptoms.

If you carry on feeling tired though I would go and see your doctor for blood tests.

Yes, being white under your inside eye lid can be a sign.

Everyone's different, but for me 11:30 every night would be far too late.
Why not go to bed at 10:00 for a few nights and see how you feel then.

I did think about earlier nights, but the problem I have is that the boys dont go to bed until 10pm and then I end up doing last minute tidying up. Also DH wouldnt go to bed at that time, and he would wake me up for some reason, turning the light on, on the landing to theck LO and generally make some noise so I dont see the point

But maybe I will try
