Always tired

Always tired
Anyone else ever just "always tired"
I work a shit shift pattern and its slowly getting to me, Like this morning I slept through 2 alarms and was late for work!
Could there be something wrong?
I can never get to sleep when I want to, an I've tried sleeping pills but I dont get on to well with them, ie: I either sleep to long on them, Or they just dont work! And I dont like the fact also that something is putting me to sleep
Any suggestions?

You could be aneamic (sp)
Which basiclly means you have an iron deficiency, which will affect your sleep patternstoo.
A simple blood test will tell if you are or not... or alternatively, go and get an iron supplementfrom your chemist, you should start to notice a difference in your sleep after about 7 days!!

Try and read some fiction.
Apparently when we're doing that, we use the same part of our brains that we do when dreaming, so it should help you get to a more relaxed state.
Failing that, stop taking "gear" as that won't be helping

i do shifts too mate.
6-2:30 one week and 12:30 till about 8 the next
on the sunday night after a week of lates when i have to get up at 5 i can never sleep.
i dont feel to tired through out the day really just dont get to sleep very well.
then after about 3 hours sleep on the sunday night and getting up at 5 each day by the end of the week im truely fucked as u just dont get chance to recover.
i started taking a nytol at about 10 on the sunday now. then just sit around and relex and watch a bit of telly in bed and i find i get to sleep ok now.
dunno if its the tablet of mind over matter and my thinking i should sleep better now coz of taking it.
as for being tired in the day, u sure u aint anemic or anything?
maybe take some multivitamins to make sure ur body is getting everything it needs and see how u feel in a week or 2.

Rad, I suffer from this too. I sleep around 7-8 hours per night. I don't smoke, don't drink and don't drink Coffee.
If I got into bed now, I could be asleep in 10 mins without any doubt and generally always 'look' tired. I am a 'stressy' kind of person, so it could be down to that.
I'm shit scared of needles, but I think a blood test will be the next thing for me.

I used to have this, but started taking multi-vitamins and over the course of 6 or so weeks it seems to have almost gone.
Like Maria said i was anemic, lack of iron in the blood - you can get dedicated iron tablets which may help, but seeing as i'm living a some-what hectic life style the multi-vitamins are replacing the nutirents i'm not getting thru certain foods.

Lay of the "gear" you tell us about would be the first step id be taking. Not a dig as you can do what you want, but it probably isn't helping matters?
Otherwise try and relax yourself before you go to bed, have a bath? or lie on the sofa for half an hour thinking/listening to music then bed?
Failing that, put a slow/mellow cd on when you get in bed, could do the trick?

Be more happy. I'm not a fan of self help books but I read a great book recently which has really improved my outlook and made me fitter, healthier, happier at work and a better sleeper. Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman.

i work shifts and i feel great, i work 6-2 morning shift, 10-6 nightshift and 2-10afternoon shift all in the same week normally 2 of each and 3 of the last, depending on which shift my weekend falls on. Aswell as a quick turnaround shift where i finish at 6am and im back at work 2pm same day.......
i drink a hell of alot of caffiene and like a few beers after my afternoon shift, i dont ever do drugs. Not the healthiest of lifestyles but im getting by. Need to sort it out really...
took me a year or so to get the hang of it but im fine now, though on my days off i sleep in till 10am to catch up on sleep.....
