I hate being tired...
June 08, 2005 @ 05:10 AMI know it’s probably not normal, but I’m tired ALL THE TIME. I mean, I’m not bed-ridden by any means.. I can get up and go to work… tonight I’ll be playing racquetball again, and it’s not like I’m exhausted after such activities. In fact, relatively quick and extremely active activities tend to help. Things like playing a sport for a couple hours make me feel VERY awake and everything. But the mundane activities, like walking around a mall then going to a restaurant with friends then running to the store then going home and doing laundry… within 30 minutes I’m absolutely exhausted and it’s a battle to get through the rest of the day.
I mention that because it’s particularly bad today. I’m writing here on my blog because anytime I look at my computer and try to do any work my brain fogs up and I want to just go to bed. In all fairness, I only got 4-5 hours of sleep last night which I’m sure is amplifying the situation. But even 8 or 9 hours of sleep will not fix the constant problem.
I used to think it was the mochas I was drinking. But as you know I stopped drinking them en masse a short while ago. And I DO have to say that it really helped my focus. The coffee was making me foggy headed. But there’s a difference between being foggy (which I’m usually not since I stopped the coffee), and being TIRED, which didn’t go away. Anyway, I’m just sharing that with you all in hopes that once I’m done typing this I can go back to work and actually think a little bit.
Interesting side note, I think I developed an addiction to sugar while I was drinking mochas twice a day. Because ever since I’ve stopped I’ve had the WORST cravings for Butterfinger candy bars! I hadn’t had a candy bar in YEARS, and now suddenly I just NEED THEM. I don’t know why, and I don’t indulge my craving very often, but I have had a few butterfingers here and there since I stopped drinking coffee…
Anyways… sigh... back to work.
