WHY AM I ALWAYS TIRED
Everyone has days when they can‟t seem to get motivated, but many arrive at work tired and
stay tired for more than a few days a month- Why is this
The most common cause of daytime tiredness is just what you would expect- not enough sleep
at night. Experts believe that we are a nation of people who don‟t know how to sleep. If you
frequently find yourself irritable, not being able to cope with simple tasks, on the verge of
nodding off at work or you do actually nod off, you probably need more sleep.
Most people need to sleep seven to eight hours each night, needs vary, and you may be one
who need more like nine or more hours per night. If you know you need more sleep but suffer
from insomnia- often caused by our busy working life and not being able to switch off at the
end of the day because you know you have so much to do the next day, try some of these
insomnia fighting tips:
Tips for Sleeping
Go to bed at the same time each night, and get up at the same time each morning,
whether you slept well or not.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine and stimulants, especially after 4.00pm. Try a hot milk or herb
tea at bedtime instead.
Get plenty of exercise to relax you physically, but don‟t exercise within an hour of
bedtime.
Instead of reading or watching TV in bed, get up and do something until you feel
sleepy.
Avoid daytime naps.
Except for short term problems, avoid sleeping medication as they can be habit
forming.
If stress is keeping you awake, research and try stress reduction programs. You may
be able to approach our Employee Assistance Provider for more information on the
services available in our area.
In most cases, fatigue can be cured by getting plenty of sleep, regular exercise, and
nutritious food, by taking care of yourself emotionally: dealing with stress, depression or
unresolved problems. If you have done all of these things and are still finding that you are
continually tired, see you doctor for a thorough check up.
