15 Things The Constantly Tired Will Understand

There are just not enough hours in the day for sleep and more sleep.

15 Things The Constantly Tired Will Understand

It will never cease to amaze me how some people can have so much energy at the beginning of the day, during the day, and even at the end of said long day. For me, fatigue is not so much a condition as it is a way of life. I can sleep past noon with no prior engagements (or prior engagements that are a bit negligible). I can still be tired after a long night of sleep. And I am in constant need of a nap.

Well, maybe not a need, but a strong, definite want.

I'm sure there are more people like me out there in the world. It's possible that at least three quarters of them have a medical condition of some kind that explains their lethargy. (I suggest you consult WebMD if needs be.)

As for me, and hopefully for those reading this article, it's simply who we are.

1. You could sleep in, during, and on anything.


2. Mornings are your second worst enemy, right after the alarm clock.



3. You mainly drink coffee for the aesthetic because it rarely actually helps you stay awake.


4. You wonder why we don't have siestas, like those in Spain.

Just one more thing wrong with "the greatest country in the world."


5. Your idea of a perfect night is cuddling up in bed and falling asleep to Netflix.


6. If work is not done the night before, it sure as hell won't be done "early tomorrow morning," but we pretend like it will.

7. There are few places more beautiful than your bed.

Pictured: Some place not half as wondrous as your full-sized Tempur-Pedic. Or even your twin bed in your freshman dorm.


8. You like to live in comfy clothes, as it makes impromptu naps easier.


9. Homework is best done between long sleeping sessions.

"I'll just take a quick five-minute break..."


10. You need a long nap before embarking on your next excursion (i.e. party).



11. You tend to want to pass out around midnight and any activity after 2:00 A.M. is an absolute no-no.

12. Why are napping stations not a thing on campus when your room is literally on the other side of the state?

Someone start a petition to UD.


13. You may not be the life of the party, but you're definitely the... zzz...

14. ...zzz...

15. ....zzz...

Wait, did something happen? Was I supposed to be writing something?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
