Is it me or does every one notice that there are a lot of people with a very low energy level? Not just low energy but like to sleep a lot. They almost would rather sleep then go out with their friends. What do you think; do you know people who always want to sleep for long periods of time and when they are awake they have a low energy level?

Yes I have been this way sense I was 12 years old. But I notice the past few years that there seems to be more and more people constantly tired! It is an awful thing to be this tired day in and day out. Go to sleep and wake up more tired then when you went to bed.

A lot of people like that might be experiencing depression in some form. The things you mentioned sound like either depression, or anemia. Anemic people need more iron in their blood, and if they don't get it, they become very tired, with low energy.

I just found out I have anemia and I have next to no iron and had to get iron pills immediately. A few years ago I had not a trace of B12 found in my system when I began to have dizzy spells. I have been tired sense I was 12 years old! But the past few years I notice more and more people are extremely tired. What the heck is going on?

I am anemic too. I think it is sad that in this stage of the human race, we are more technologically advanced as ever, but the quality of out lives are going down. I blame that on stress, poor diet (now days even some health foods are not made in a healthy way), and lack of coping skills.

I do not know any like that. I know that I am conked out by one pm, and then get energy in the evening. But I guess it could be because part of my ancestors came from around the Mediterranean, ancient Romans I guess.

I know far to many people that are extremely tired people. I have met way to many people that are just as tired or more tired. I have heard about to many people that are in the same predicament. Something is wrong here wouldn't you say. This is not a normal tired this is a all consuming tiredness that people are embarrassed about and even try to hide from people least they be judged for it. Being called lazy! It is a nightmare! You are so lucky to not experience this. I only wish. I watch people with energy and I just want to cry because I want even just a portion of what they have. I have taken adrenal gland pills lately and I am hoping this will improve my life!

I'm one of those people. I never have any energy, I'm just always tired. It takes everthing that I have, just to get out of bed. I have depression, and lots of allergies, so those are contributing factors, I guess. The fact that I'm 48 doesn't help either. lol

i think this is a kind of psychological problem. i have some friends like that too. they always want to sleep and once they fall asleep they are like animals on winter sleep. but i have also friends who don't know the meansng of getting tired and having some rest. i think neither of them is healthy. it's about having too much of something.
