How do you beat "tiredness"?

Normaly when I sleep around 6 hours

Probably by sleeping more than 6 hours... very few people can naturally do that.

A. Regulate your sleep, same hours, every day, use a sleep mask and white noise and earplugs, whatever works.

B. Take a 30 minute 'powernap' in the late afternoon or early evening, but no more than 30 minutes.

C. Before sleep, avoid screens--TV, mobile, iPad, whtaver.

i am currently 20 so I have no clue if i have to call females between18 and 22 girls or women

They are always 'girls', even if they're 75.

No porn (ever) , no drugs, no ambient light before bed. Don't try to rub one out before you sleep either. These all mess up your circadian rhythm. Also, don't lift right before you sleep.

Do all that and see how well you sleep in a week.

Go for a sleep study, you might have sleep apnea. Fairly common.

Vitamin D dude...surprised that no-one has raised this issue here. Get tested, then go on a supplementation regime, and usually what is optimal will be a lot higher than the level they recommend for supplementation. My doctor recommended that I take 1000 UI (international units) per day. however, I am now supplementing at 10,000 UI's / day. And I get my blood levels tested every 3 month. Has changed my fucking life man... NOTE: I live in a northern region, that doesn't get much sun, I work a stressful job and I am very active, and I am also fairly big, 220lbs. I am also olive skinned. All these factors combine to give me a relatively large need for vit d3 supplementation.

Stop eating white carbs and sugar. Get your carbs from wholemeal bread and pastas and red rice. Source: Years of experience, experimentation and social networking

If your mattress is junk you won't get great sleep. I went from struggling every day after 9 hours to completely refreshed after 7 when I upgraded from a beat up old £80 mattress to a new £300 one. And now I'm visiting family and sleeping on a pos for the stay and could easily go for 9+ again.

Lots of useful hints here. In my case the key to more energy was: Iron, Vitamin D and Vitamin B supplements. Also: No fapping, no porn, regular excercise, less sugar, regular habits and an overall more structured day ("boring" as SJW lifestyle bullshit media would call it). Also: avoid processed / junk food like the plague.

Alongside all the wonderful advice already given, speak with your doctor to get your thyroid checked.

It's obvious : make sleep your priority.

Have a regular sleep schedule (mine is 10pm-6 am, find yours, we're not all the same)
6 hours is NOT ENOUGH. Sleeping 9h just after is not enough also : it's called a sleep debt. Sleep is like a diet : you can cheat forme time to time, but if it is most of the time, you end up fat...
Monitor your sleep : you probably don't have a clue of what you're doing and how much you sleep. If you say 6h, it's probably more like 5h...
There a many other things like a good mattress, what you eat (especially vitamin D), watching netlfix for hours that you can improve. But those are details and you can figure those out by yourself.

Dreamer994 · 2016-12-30T16:57:19+00:00

Im in similar situation as you. When I wake up after 9-10 hours of sleep I feel more tired than when I went to sleep. Sometimes I sleep for 5-6 hours and im ok but then my power in the evening is close to 0. Im not doing drugs, no alcohol, but I am going to sleep right after computer usage and have my phone turn on near to my bed. my diet could be better too. I have this "problem" as long as I remember (15 years+)

what everyone said. If all else fails, try melatonin. (Plus if you are lifting, you might be overtraining, has happened to me)

fudluck · 2016-12-30T12:38:10+00:00

Where I am, it's pretty dark all the time right now. I found I was getting tired throughout the day, having trouble concentrating, etc. I bought a SAD lamp and use it for 30-40 mins while reading in the morning as soon as I get up. By the end of that session I feel awake and ready to get on with the rest of my day. I do sleep a lot longer than you apparently (8-10 hours) but this has had a noticeable effect on the rest of my day. I wish I had bought one sooner now.

I'm not saying this is your problem but it helped me. Look into symptoms of SAD and see if any more of them match your experience.

As others have said, do the sleep study first and also stick to a sleep routine, same wake up time and same time to bed everyday.

However, anecdotally, from what I have seen, is that people whom seem to have slower metabolisms tend to do best with little sleep.

What do I mean? (BTW, I'm exaggerating below)

For example, people who can eat six hamburgers a day, go to the gym and still look pretty good regardless, yet somehow maintain a lower body fat level than they should be able to with a bad diet. From what I have seen, people with these kinds of metabolisms need a TON of sleep to be on their A game.

On the flip side, guys that watch everything they eat and do everything precisely, yet gain a couple of pound if they have too many cheat days in a row or go on a short vacations and can't stick exactly to their diets. From what I have seen, these kinds of people need VERY little sleep to be on their A game.

It like comparing the metabolism of a Mink versus a Turtle. One needs lots a sleep, but is far more athletic than its size would dictate, but has a shorter life cycle. The other has no athleticism, but also doesn't need much sleep and seemingly lives forever. I have yet to see a human based study that plots human metabolism the way they have already done for animals, showing that some people will have varying exercise results and sleep needs, based heavily on the type of metabolism they have.

Again, just an anecdotal observation of mine.

mdcrubengonza · 2016-12-30T16:26:06+00:00

Take a break (1 or 2 days) from lifting. Sounds like you're experiencing adrenal fatigue.

MrSundance57 · 2016-12-30T18:17:09+00:00

Kratom. See good looking loser kratom lifestyle post.

At 20 you should have abundant energy. Check testosterone and thyroid just to rule it out.

Good luck

Eliminate caffeine and then we can talk about anthing else.

Alpacash · 2016-12-30T20:09:13+00:00

Eat more calories also sleep more or jump on that dere.

r3mok · 2016-12-31T02:17:53+00:00

How's your life?

Do you live where you want to live? Do you do what you want to do? Do you have what you want to have? Any unhealthy social environment (crappy friends/no friends)?

If your blood test is showing you are fine and you are not, taking more vitamins and meditating harder won't help. Also, broken sleep cycle can be an effect, not a cause of your problems.

Generally speaking fatigue == stress. Find a cause of a stress and eliminate it. Stress can be physiological or psychological. I'd start exploring psychological option first.

JFMX1996 · 2016-12-31T06:17:57+00:00

How's your diet? A lot of what we eat takes a huge effect on our bodies. The food we give our body is the fuel it uses, so making sure it's good fuel might make it so you aren't so tired.

Are you eating adequately? Is there content in your food and drinks or possible workout supplements that might be making you crash? Are you drinking enough water and staying hydrated?

I'm also 20 but wasn't able to get rid of that constant tiredness until I got rid of the garbage stuff I was eating and cut out as much of the processed foods as I could. Also, pharmaceutical drugs could be causing a side effect if you take any.

I take a mulitivitamin, some fish oils, and a little vitamin d3 and feel awesome.

Valhalla_Man · 2016-12-31T17:14:28+00:00

If you have sleep apnea, you might not realize it.

ketaminex · 2016-12-30T15:07:56+00:00

It may not be related to sleep. What you are describing sounds like fatigue.

What I would suggest is taking a B-vitamin complex. If you raise your pH levels you will also notice that you have more energy. You can do this by making real lemonade.

Buy lemons and squeeze out their juice. Filter out the seeds. Pour the fresh lemon juice into a container. Pour as much honey as you like into the container. Now add a little bit of water. Shake the mixture until the lemon juice and the honey are combined. Now add enough water to make it into lemonade as it will be very concentrated. The honey will give you good carbohydrates to utilize instead of giving you a sugar rush with a crash (look up the glycemic index).

There are lots of herbs that can give you a boost. I think you should do the research yourself though because you need to take something that is appropriate for your body.

I absolutely think you should visit a doctor. Find a DO (they are real doctors) or a Naturopathic physician like Dr. Mark Hyman. Talk to them about your problems and tell them you want something more than just a pill such as a meal plan, an exercise regimen and supplement advice. They will also be able to refer you to someone about your sleep issues.

In the mean time I think you should watch Fight Club. Good luck!
