I'm tired
« on: June 21, 2022, 10:20:09 AM »
Like all the time.

I wake up and still feel tired. when I get home from work I have about an hour before I'm so tired I have to go to bed. And this is usually at about 7:30 or 8:00..

So many things I like to do that I want to do and plan to do when I get home and I don't have to energy to do it. I'm currently mixing songs that I've recorded and I'm almost done with one of them but I basically have to wait till the weekend comes before I have the energy to work on them.

I guess that comes with age? Or is that not normal?

I'm 57 years old. I work pretty hard during the day though. I do get up early. I get up at 5:00 a.m. and then from then on I pretty much am working until I get home.

Sometimes I'm in a physically exhausting environment. Like a very hot human environment and all day on my feet repairing a massive printer. Maybe get ink under my fingernails and all over my hands. I don't know if that's part of it.

Tired all the time.

Sounds like your job is tiring. Perhaps look for a new one? The # one way to higher energy is sleep, Cardio, and no smoking/drinking. Go for a run when you get home. Yeah it sucks, but it only takes <10 min, but you will actually feel alive after. Don't fall for the "I need more sugar" trap.

Thanks.

I do eat healthy and I don't eat sugar. I don't even eat foods that have sugar in them or even processed foods. I think I'm pretty healthy.

I think you're right about cardio though. That's the last thing I can even imagine doing when I get home though right then on my feet all day.

Lol. I do tend to be lazy!

I'm in good shape. I weigh a hundred and fifty pounds and I'm pretty active. My job is just nothing but working all day. I get up at 5:00 a.m. again on the weekends but if I'm off and I get up at 5:00 I'll usually make breakfast and coffee and then I'll delete that all around the house and then I'll go take a nap. Lol!

Sounds like stress to me.  Stress is cumulative and your mind can't differentiate between physical stress and mental/emotional stress.  You have to do something to fight stress every day.  But stress relief is generally extremely unique, meaning that what I do to relieve stress might work for you or it might not.  Good luck with it.

Back in the day my then boss once was bitten by the Wheel of Energy bug. Simply put, your total energy can be described as a circle which is divided into three segments: Work, leisure/hobbies and rest. For optimal energy the three should be balanced. If one segment is bigger than the other two, the weight of it will stop the wheel from spinning.

Dehydration is another issue. A hot environment, thick/dark clothes (sunshine on a breezy day in spring), efficient ventilation (aeroplanes) all can dry yourself without you noticing. Caffeine is a diuretic so coffee or coke can make things worse. Some common vegetables like watermelons and tomatoes also remove fluids from your system - handy if you have swollen ankles but not so much if you're already dry as a raisin. Excessive drinking of plain water (a gallon a day) can also be an issue as it can change your salt balance. Even more so if you sweat a lot.

My favorite Beatle album. I love that song.

Multiple good ones on the White Album. I miss the vinyl that was destroyed from heat in the attic when I was on active duty.

I happen to have 2 copies,1 is an original pressing and the second is a rerelease that I recorded then put away. Oh and I almost forgot I have the CD also. I’m missing the first album and revolver,had revolver but it went missing long ago and only have it on CD.
