12 Surprising Things That Are Making You Tired

Fluorescent lights really drain your energy.

 

When I worked as a nurse, I found that switching shifts was very difficult. You get used to one shift & you then have to change shifts. Everything is switched around, including how your body works. I found that I was so tired after I worked night shift, although I did my work very well, that I couldn't sleep properly during the day. I also found that when you work nights, you eat a meal around 3 or 4 a.m. because you are really hungry. Then, when I went back to working day shifts, I would waken in the night around 3 or 4, ready to eat a meal. My doctor wanted to give me a paper saying that I could not work night shift, but I knew that the hospital would not be interested in accepting it. The usual thing they say is "That's the way we've always done it and that's the way we'll always do it."

I just skip all the great points that ExcaliburNight described above and go right to the sex part.  Works great for me!

If you don't want to be tired, DON'T, 1, Watch TV in bed. 2, get rid of all BLUE lights as the color will drain your sleep cycle. 3, Don't eat or drink anything after 6 p.m.. Your stomach digest the food, inside of it, every 4 hours and passes it into the small intestines where it begins it's journey. If you eat at 8 p.m. figure your stomach passing the constituted food into the small intestine. That, alone can wake you. Any liquids you drink will pass through your system anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. Remember, anything you ate or drank at dinner is still in your digestive track.  Anything you eat or drink after 6 just pushes what's in front of it closer to the exit point. 4, Don't take your work to bed with you. All that does is cloud your brain on "what needs to be done" and keeps you from falling into sleep. 5, When you fall asleep, your eyelid partially opens. If you have any lights on, your pupil will pick up that light and transfer it into your brain, giving it a signal to wake up, it's daylight.  6, Always make sure you have comfortable sleeping conditions, such as a dark room, good mattress and a good pillow. Make sure you have the correct amount of covers or a comforter when it is cold, but remember, your body temperature drops when you fall asleep. Your heart slows down also, so stay warm, especially in the winter months. If you are overheated, you need to turn your heat down. A good setting for the thermostat is around 66 and a good comforter or blankets. 7. If you or another bed guest snores, that's a big problem for both. When you snore, you are not in a deep sleep. You may have been told you are, or you may think you are, but I will guarantee snoring has woken you, if you snore and the person sharing the bed with you. 8. If all the above fail, then try having sex. I will guarantee you will fall asleep as sex brings all your senses to an exploding point then your senses are left feeling fatigues and there is nothing better than falling asleep, holding the one you love, within your arms. Just pray he or she doesn't snore. One thing I do to fall asleep is, when I lay my head on the pillow, I fill my mind with thoughts of what I have seen that comfort me. Like walking down a road with trees showing off their vivid colors in the fall. Try it sometime. I guarantee you it will work. After all it's better than clouding your mind with what is going to go on at work the next day. In Plain words, if you get a good nights sleep, you won't get tired. If you do, see a doctor as it could be more to your beign tired.
