Why am I always so tired?

[Riddlediddle]

I am permanently shattered and I can't really understand why this is. To give you am overview I am early 30s with one ds. I work full time in an office role. On average I get about 7 hours sleep per night. I like to think that I eat fairly healthily too - a typical days food for me is:

• one weetabix with semi skimmed milk
• handful of grapes
• egg or tuna with steamed veg for lunch
• snack a jacks
• apple/orange
• graze box of nuts
• usually something like a chicken stir fry for tea

Plus I drink about 2-3 litres of water per day and I take a wellwoman vitamin daily. Any idea where I am going wrong???

Have you had your eyes tested?

You need to go to bed earlier. I get 9 hours most nights - similar age and lifestyle to you

There's not enough fat, protein or vitamins in your diet either

Might be worth getting a blood test for glandular fever... I had it last year, my bones have never felt so tired. It's a real energy sapping tiredness, not your usual. I don't get much more than 7hrs sleep either but am fairly used to that. It was the glandular fever that really knocked me for six
