"Why Am I Always Tired?" - Free Resource For Ending Tiredness

            People, it’s time to quell the outbreaks of bad advice I’m hearing on a day to day basis.  I answer tiredness related questions on Yahoo Answers (trust me, the “why am I tired?” question gets asked all the time), I read popular health blogs, and I even run my own website… and I’ve got to say I’m a little disappointed with the people spreading misinformation to those desperately in need of tiredness help throughout the internet.  A lot of times they don’t even mean to do it, they’re just passing on what they heard (which, unfortunately, was wrong in the first place!). 


It stops here.


I’m going to bust open the truth right here and now, by the most common myth spread about the internet in regards to tiredness.  Ready to learn?  Let’s go! : )
 

The Myth: “You need to get more sleep!”
 

            Now in all honesty, this one DOES make intuitive sense.  One would think that sleeping more would be the obvious solution to tiredness.  However, usually sleeping 8 hours in a night won’t leave you feeling much better than sleeping 6.  By the same token, a lazy person who sits at home and sleeps the majority of the day should be all charged up for anything right?  Nope, lethargic people have the least energy of anyone around, and they get much more sleep.  Why?  It’s all in the sleep cycles.
 

            Sleeping cycles are the 90 minute chunks in which our body groups the 5 stages of sleep.  Every 1.5 hours, we progress through all 5 of these stages, and allow ourselves to recharge/regenerate.  However, many of the recommended sleep amounts don’t correspond with our sleep cycles at all!
 

            Sleeping 8 or even 10 hours is a mistake because these numbers are not divisible by 1.5.  This means that sleeping these amounts you will wake up in the middle of a sleep cycle.  Your body will then purposely make you feel drowsy as the day progress in an attempt to get you to lay down and complete that cycle.
 

            Another reason those who oversleep will feel tired is because they have built their body into the habit of sedentary life.  In other words, your body budgets for energy based on your needs; if you never exert yourself or maintain an active lifestyle, your body doesn’t think it needs to budget much energy for you and you’ll end up feeling tired all the time.
