Why Am I Tired All the Time?

Every day.

I wake up and feel exhausted.

It doesn’t matter whether I’m waking up early for work or after sleeping in on the weekend.

I feel tired.

I feel tired every day.

I feel tired all day.

I feel tired while writing this sentence.

Why is this?

Is it because I’m in my mid-30s and this is just how life is now?

It can’t be just that.

I try getting more sleep.

But I wake up tired.

I try going to bed at a reasonable hour instead of watching videos on YouTube all night.

But I wake up tired.

I try to stop myself from having that one last glass of wine before bed.

But I wake up tired.

No matter what I do to be more restful, it doesn’t matter.

I try not to stress about work.

But I’m still tired.

I try to avoid doom scrolling on my phone and meditate instead.

But I’m still tired.

I try to cut down on too much caffeine during the day.

But I’m still tired.

Maybe it’s the state of the world that has me tired?

Maybe it’s a mix of my lifestyle that has me tired?

Maybe it’s just the fact that I am destined to be tired until the day I no longer can feel anything at all?

Maybe I should put this coffee down and go for a walk.

I don’t know.

All I know is that I’m tired all the time.

Why is that?
