Exhausted constantly!

it feels like from day one I've just been exhausted! I'll spend the day relaxing and still fall asleep at 8pm or need a midday nap. Anyone have any energy secrets? Not having caffiene in my life is draining!

Re: Exhausted constantly!

  • The only energy secret I have is survive until the next trimester! With DS I would literally fall asleep standing up against a wall. It didn't fade until the very end of the first trimester. I am having the same problem with this pregnancy, but now I have a 2 yr old to manage. I find taking even a 20 minute nap in the afternoon helps me make it through the rest of the day. DS takes a nap at 12, and now so do I!

  • I'm the same! Nap after work and fall asleep on the couch in the evening! Straight asleep at night and tired again the next day!
    Exercise helps but summoning the energy to do it is the catch!
  • The minute my alarm goes off in the morning I'm already thinking about when I'll be home to get back in bed. I fall asleep at my desk nod off in meetings. I try to sleep about 20 mins in my car on my lunch break. It helps. As soon as I get home I lie down in bed for about 30 mins. I would sleep all day if I could.

  • I am a school teacher, so early bedtime has always been something for me. I find I'm in bed even earlier, sometimes ready by 7:30-8. My typical time was 9, 9:30 at the latest. Even getting 9-10 hours of sleep a day isn't enough. I am looking forward to the next time I can sleep in, or that evenings bedtime. I was so tired in the shower this morning, I was trying not to close my eyes. It was bad, lol.
