feeling tired all day
by mnm6677, Feb 27, 2007 12:00AM
Ok well Im have been very tired the past few months. I have been going through some stressful events. For the past year I have been drinking heavy, most often right before bed. I find that it helps me sleep however wake up in the middle of the night needing some water. I also have been a heavy pot smoker for many years, all day every day. I dont exercise that often but eat fairly well. Do you think this combo could be the cause of feeling tired all day? Im up late at night and sleep til the afternoon and still need a nap in the afternoon. I used to be able to handle it but now its tough to get back on track. Any ideas how to get back to a normal sleep routine? Does the pot and beer effect my sleeping pattern? Thanks for your help. Im kinda lost as to how to get back on track.

I smoke my fair share of pot and am a casual drinker now.
I suggest vitamin B-12 for energy throughout the day and melatonin at night to establish a normal sleep pattern.
You can purchase both these over the counter at almost any place with a pharmacy for under $10.
Do you have any motivation to cut back. If I had to choose, I would cut the alcohol first. Just my personal preference.
If you can, try to avoid alcohol and instead drink water or gatorade right before bed. Maybe have a drink or 3 at 6 pm, then be done.
