Overwhelming Fatigue

[artluvr09]

I am so tired! More tired than I usually am! I am getting the same amount of sleep. But it seems like since the time change as soon as it gets dark at 5pm now I get really tired. I get so tired and my brain fog gets terrible. I feel so out of it! I never feel this much fatigue! It started saturday. I was so tired last night I couldn't even finish packing for my grandmas. I was so tired I couldn't even think to pack. I had to wake up at 6 so i could finish packing before work. I am so tired tonight and this weekend its overwhelming. And I can't nap during the day or i can't sleep at night. Any tips on how to stay energized? I don't know what is causing this crazy fatigue! I don't know if its from the time change, or that I have been eating junk food lately this past week when usually I avoid it or a combination or what! How do you stay energized throughout the day or during the time change when it gets dark out early? Its only 630 and it feels like 830!

This stuff usually waxes and wanes in severity, and the cause is not often clear. Aside from trying to keep a defined sleep schedule, all I really know is to wait it out until you get back to "baseline". The time change makes me feel sluggish too.

I have a lamp that's supposed to imitate the sun. I forgot about that, it helps too.

I don't want to get out of bed and can't wait to get back in it in the winter. It is hard to get motivated but I find a short walk helps to energise me, or even a bit of exercise
