I'm always tired and worn out. Do we as "CFers" need more sleep and rest than "normal" people? What about you ladies who have children? How do you keep up?

The more I sleep, the worse I am. I know I need to exercise, but gosh, I'm worn out!!!!!

Any suggestions?

I am ALWAYS tired. I feel like I'm doing 100% worth of work with about 50% energy. I take naps when I can, but even then I feel like everyone around me thinks I'm just lazy.

I'm sorry I don't know what to suggest. I just try and nap often...sometimes even that doesn't help. I totally understand, too, how the more you sleep, the more tired you are. For that, I use coffee, lol.

I'm curious to see others' responses. Hope you feel better soon! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

normally i need like 10 hours (with oxygen at night) but when im trying to fight of a common cold or a cf cold, then i need like 12 to 14 just overnight and possibly another nap.

I only feel exhausted, for the most part, when im getting sick... or maybe thats just when i notice it.

I also feel like when I am on megace my appetite stimulant, b/c its a steriod, I go off of 8 hours of sleep, and i feel good while on... I recently got off of it and it has been like running into a brick wall... I feel like *****.

haha

i think people think im lazy too, especially b/c im late everyday to my 10 o clock class on MWF, but I actually get up at 7 or 8 depending on my treatment I just am always late b/c of the walking part.

It wld be so great to sleep I have terrible insomonia I go to bed by 11pm for the most part, then I am lookg at the clock its 2am,3am,last week 510am just getting more fustrated by the moment? I use Ambien but it doesn't work anymore, I do shower before bed, thinkg.maybe that wakes me? But I can't get into bed with out one. I also read in bed probably also not a good thing.

I require sleep and sometimes a catnap. I have to go to be at 10pm. If I got to bed at 10:30 then I am up until 1-2am. Very frustrating. Kinda of like it messes with some sort of sleep rhythm. I was totally exhausted until my son was 3 years old. I am doing much better now that he sleep during the night or Hubby takes care of him.

I am always tired. I have started walking and it makes me feel more awake.

Thanks for the inputs, everyone.

I know what you mean, Mamerth. I was kind of annoyed because when I mentioned this to my doctor, she told me that maybe I should go to bed early; she wasn't very concerned apparently. So I did. But I have found that if I go to bed before 10, I wake up around 2 or 3 and am up until about 4 or 4:30...and I have to get up by 6 to start my day! Then I'm exhausted and grouchy the rest of the day.

I wonder if my body doesn't actually sleep when I'm sleeping?

I'm going to have to join a gym if I want to walk on a regular basis, which means another monthly note and I'm running low on funds these days. I started walking earlier this year when the weather changed and I got sick. Then I started walking again before it go so miserably hot here in MS and came across a snake and nearly had a heart attack LOL....
