Just let me sleep

As previously mentioned go for a walk, make it last for as long as you can. Workout, it will help you. If that doesn't help find a some stress management games. Believe it or not that can help you as they do make games that relieve stress.

I only feel that way the last part of Feb and first part of March, but it has nothing to do with the weather, or season. It has to do with putting on a 3 day wildland fire academy, and being the academy coordinator. Making reservations, making sure everyone is notified, going to meetings, and making sure that all supplies are bought and delivered when needed. Takes months to plan and coordinate, 3 days for the academy itself, one day of clean-up, but the days start at 5am, and normally end around midnight.

February is my tiredest month. Somewhat in January as well. By March we will be having lots of sun. The recommendations that they give are to possibly take melatonin as you get into bed. First thing in the morning look out the window at morning light, or even better, go out in it for a few minutes. Make sure you get your vitamins. Stop looking at the computer or television at least an hour before you go to bed. I like to have bright lights on where ever I am sitting. Another tip is a hot or warm bath or shower an hour or two before bed so that your core temperature will go up with the warm water and then drop, as that signals your body to make sleep hormones.

I feel the same way. I go to bed kinds late and then have to get up early to get the kids ready for school so I only get about 6 1/2 to 7 hours of sleep a night. You would think thats enough but I can wake up ok and get the kids out the door but a few hour later I have to take a nap before I go back into work or I just cant make it through the day. I only try to sleep for an hour but that does work for me sometimes. I never have trouble falling asleep and I think I could sleep for days too.

I am like this all the time, no matter how much sleep I get or don't get. I never feel well rested. The only thing that I know of that helps with sleep, is de-stressing, and a proper diet and diet.

try having some protein rich food to keep you healthy,, so that you will have energy all the time

Hi again MagicalBubbles, I just try to activate myself in the morning and I just try to relax me by evening. I mean, I take a sunny walk today, very early at 9. And I use to take a really hot shower by 7.30 pm. I make the kids dinner, and I go quick to bed. I´m feeling tired because the years before I was exposed to too much stress, and I watch that my life rythm is relaxing. Blesssings!... Dainy

I think it is normal to want to sleep more in the winter because it is cold, who wants to get out of the cozy warm blanket? I would I wish sleep some as well but I couldn't because my baby doesn't let me.
