Not a problem, I just noticed the inconsistency.  I am old myself, but my mind isn't yet tired.  So, I have trouble relating to your situation at two levels.

Is the "tired mind" been going on all your life, or just lately?  I just lately, and you are getting a good night sleep 10 PM to 7 AM (9 hours) your mind should be well rested.  Assume here you don't wake up often during the night.  Think to, if the condition is new, what you have been consuming and doing at the time the problem became recognized.

I know I can take various amounts of time to accomplish a task, and when it takes longer it is because I am distracted and not focused on what I am trying to accomplish.

Your post sounds like a school age person, you profile shows you as a 97 year old female, which is it?

Sleeping during the day usually means not enough rest while sleeping at night.  Do you have sleep problems?
