12 Problems with Feeling Perpetually Tired

All I do is sleep, sleep, sleep no matter what.

12 Problems with Feeling Perpetually Tired
CutestPaw

This goes out to all of the day time nappers and night time dreamers.

1. You wake up wondering when you can sleep next.

Sometimes you want to pay attention-you need to pay attention- but despite your best efforts you start to drift into the clouds and then feel really awkward trying to catch what was said as you regain awareness.

2. You get random bursts of energy that do not last very long.


One minute you are bounding off to your destination feeling up to par, but the longer you sit/stand in one area the sensation of being awake begins to leave and you are left with drooping eyes and false hope.

3. Tiredness hits not matter how much sleep you have had.

Okay, obviously three hours did not work, which makes sense. If you get 10 on the weekend it is probably because you "overslept". Then you try for eight hours expecting perfection, but alas you hit moments throughout your day when you feel like resting, but it is unjustified because you hit the magic number.

4. Reading/taking notes is your worst nightmare.

Looking down is a very risky action when it means your eyes are practically already shut, which is very unhelpful when you are in a boring class, doing a tedious job, or doing homework and you need to be alert.

5. Zoning out is a real problem.


Sometimes you want to pay attention-you need to pay attention- but despite your

best efforts you start to drift into the clouds and then feel really awkward trying to catch what was said as you regain awareness.

6. Making sense is also an issue.

The mind is just too foggy to remember that one word, even though it is on the tip of your tongue...making you sound kind of crazy.

7. Napping is your hobby.

The problem with this is, as glorious as naps feel they also take away amounts of productivity and social time. You wake up feel good, but also disconnected or stressed.

8. You could fall asleep anywhere.

Classroom, recliner, back seat of the car, floor...literally anywhere! The tiredness has taken over.

9. You lack motivation for any serious act.

Because of course, once you get settled all you want to do is sleep. How can you get yourself to do things if you are exhausted.

10. You fear falling asleep in professional places.


It just can't happen, what will people think? But it seems so hard to keep...eyes...open.

11. Sometimes you resort to drastic measures.

If you need to stay awake sometimes you pace the floor, take 10 minute naps, or splash water on your face. You may need to do whatever it takes.

12. Weekends are your absolute favorite.


Mainly because you can turn off your alarm clock and sleep, sleep, sleep.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
