"I get tired, too."

Whatever you think tired is, it's not my tired.  I have very few moments when I feel awake. I'm almost always some degree of tired.

At best, my tired is the I'm fine and can go without sleeping but if I can sleep I might tired. At worst my fatigue is the kind where, yes this actually happened to me, you fall asleep on the living room floor 10 feet from the bed because getting there seemed the equivalent of climbing a mountain.

I'm pretty sure I scared the crap out of my husband that day when he came home to find me there.  Ah, scrapbook moments.

I try to describe my tired as feeling like you would feel the minute before you go to bed because you just can't stay awake anymore.  That's me more often than I'd like to recall.

I've taken the meds they give to people that are narcoleptic...and I slept.  I changed my diet...and I sleep.  I try caffeine and it works a bit...and then I sleep.  I've tried exercise and that makes me so tired I can't do anything else.  I've tried skipping my naps so that I could maybe go to bed earlier and sleep longer and then the next day I just crashed harder.

At least I look so good, or at least I'm told.  Thank you under-eye dark circle correction cream.
