Is that a word? Well if it isn't, it is now.. hah
Anyways, do you guys that are young like me feel tired a lot? I dunno why but you know I'm totally fine at school (except in 0 period, at 6:15 am, lol) but by the time I get home I am totally beat. That doesn't seem normal. And like I always get tired around 10 pm when most teens stay up till like 12 at my school it seems like. I try to stay up later to do homework but I always end up falling asleep.
Is it just me, or is it normal?
Tho it might have to do with the fact that I get up at 5:30 am because I have to be at school for 0 period English at 6:15 am when it is still dark in the morning.. but I get home around 1 pm, sometimes after 1:30 pm, and I am so beat. blah I hate it lol
-
yes... im totally always tired :(
darn school/swimming takes up all my time and i dont get as much sleep as i should. :|
-
You're not that weird. . . I get home from school at like hmm quarter to 3 and everyday except for monday - I sleep. I am so tired. Dead. I can afford this because I don't really do anything after school (except monday agian) untill 5pm or later. . . of course that 2 hour nap throws off my sleep schedual and I'll stay up untill all odd hours of the moning . .and then I'll have to get op early again fir school, just to repeat the same thing.
*sigh*

i'm tired all the time it seems, at one point my mom was worried about me. I get up at 6.. go to bed at like 1030 every weekday, and I'm BEAT after school, I take naps... or just unintentionally fall asleep. I dono, theres not a whole lotta times where i dont feel that tired, kinda.. not good
-
I have insomnia, so I'm tired all the time.

I feel tired because I should feel tired. During the work week I lose out on sleep. Sometimes I'll sleep less than four hours a night, sometimes six. Then all the minor social obligations keep me up on friday night, sometimes all night visiting people. At which time I crash and sleep half of Saturday. The reason I don't sleep enough is because I sometimes work 12 hours a day starting at 5 am and have too many interests which keep me up at night studying, reading, and thinking. Including studying and composing music... forget it when I try out different chords and chord progressions on my $20 dollar walmart toy keyboard. The hours pass too quickly and 5 am comes around early.

naps rock.

Yeah, I'm always tired and I always have these bad bags under my eyes, it sucks.
I normally get up at 5 or 6am (depending whether i have 0 period that day or not) and go to sleep around 11pm.
It takes me a long time to fall asleep, so even if I try, I normally can't take naps. Some people just fall asleep unintentionally, I never have, i don't sleep unless I really try... and if I'm thinking too much (which is hard to stop) i don't sleep, lol.

when it was track season I would wake up, go to school, go to track, come home and pass out. I thought wow...I'm too young to be so tired. I wondered if there was a problem with me...I have no idea still. I think I am going to try vitamins.
-
wow reading this makes me think im less weird i am always tired sometimes i will go to school and then go to sleep straight after and sometimes i would have to stay up all night and day just to get back into routine
-
haha Scott....I have to do that one night in the summer before school starts....
I'm feeling normal! :P

Look at this weird-o who stole my sleep habits.
Why steal sleep habits? You should've gone for the jewelry. :wink:

Yes, my body is obsessed with sleep, LOL. *sigh*

I'm always tired. School and stress all factor in to it.
I saw a show on tv that was all about the teenage brain, where it is in its development and how it affects our bodies, and they said that a teenager is programmed differently than children and adults. Our internal clocks are different. By nature we want to go to sleep later, and get up later. That's just how mother nature slapped us together. So it's normal for teenagers to have slight cases of insomnia and even narcolepsy since we have to get up early for school, yet still can't fall asleep until late at night 8O
Of course everyones different, so this might not hold true to everyone, but i know that's how it is for me. I get up at 5:30 every morning and usually go to sleep around 11, but dont' fall asleep until later. I usually don't work naps in because i have to do something after school, but i sleep alot on weekends.

I have M.E. - think that kinda speaks for itself... :cry:

Yup, i had it too. Tia you have it a lot worse than me though. I am about to go onto a diet of cutting dairy products out completely for 2 weeks, because it works for a lot of people- no chocolate! Its going to be hard.

I kinda tried that one...didn't make much difference. But I hope it works for you! Good luck!!
You Americans have to get up so early... 8O

What time do you have to get up? :?

Yup, there are schools in america now that start later and end later don't they? It just seems silly to expect us to get up at like 7 when we need so much more sleep. A lot of the reason people feel sleepy is so much sugar and junk food too.
-
What time do you have to get up? :?
If I was at school - 6am, but that's only coz it's miiiiiiiiiles away...
If I was at a local school, 8am.
-
I get up at 6am, every morning and I walk to school.
:?
school starts at 7:55 and ends at 2:55

I have the worst sleeping pattern! I've been up for almost 21 hours now....

thats what time I wake up mama. I still get dressed and grab something to munch on. ;) It doesn't take me an hour, it takes me like 15-20 minutes.
but I walk like a zombie and find something to wear, brush my teeth, and comb my rag mop hair. :lol:
Oh! and I have to walk to the school bus stop, so I get to school at 7:30
manda
PS-I have a tick for tardiness.
-
Ah, I see...
Dumb me forgot the getting dressed and eating brekkie and other stuff part that happens before school, lol.
-
unlike some people at my school, I don't go to school in my jammies.
:D I'm an early bird.
Manda
-
We have to wear uniforms, so I'd never get by on the jammie thing! Too bad, huh...
And I'm not an early bird :?
-
I used to wear a uniform in elementary school. but it was only for like three years.
I get to wear whatever I want.
at my school people go to school with their jammies on, a lot.
mostly the upperclassmen though, because they ditch the most. so they just come to school w/their PJ's and leave early.

LOL!
We have some...unusual...slang words :wink:
Some are also rather crude so I'll refrain from mentioning them so I don't get banned ; )
-
Whoa! Dang this thread got a lot of replies, I thought I was the only one! Haha
Yeah, I don't do much after school.. tho I must must must catch the Ellen show ;) then after that I usually sleep or come on here if I'm not too tired.
The good thing about my classes is that I never get any homework anymore that is due like the next day so I always have the weekend to do it which is cool because I'm way too tired after school. It is like, you've been in school for like 7 hours, then you come home, so would we really wanna do more work? hmm nope.. not me, I'd rather sleep! lol
And about the P-Jay's thing.. yeah people at my school wear them to school also haha. I dunno how they can get away with it. I probably could but eh, I wouldn't feel right.
-
P.S. I wan't to know who the one fool is that is always full of energy!! Damn you!

there are, but not near where I live. The Super (the guy who pretty much makes all the decisions about how the school system runs) wants us to stay until 4! 8O Not even start later, start at regular time and stay an extra hour! It'll never happen though, too much opposition. But i wouldn't be opposed to starting later and staying longer.
-
Yes, starting later and staying longer! I would love that! Always thought what it would be like.. ahh but then I would miss Ellen, and my other shows but who cares! Staying at school later would give you an excuse not to do anything and tell ur parents ur too busy with homework since we have an extra hour in school ;)
-
starting later and staying longer!
We're so ahead of you! :-P :wink:
-
so what time do you start school, and what time does it end?
(I didn't feel like reading all that...)
Manda
-
Me?
Mine starts at 7:30.. well if you have 0 period like me it is 6:15 (while it is still dark out in the morning!) & it ends at 2:30, but again if you have 0 period like me it ends after 5th period at 12:54, unless you only have 5 classes like my friend who gets out after 4th period which is 11:51.. & if you stay for lunch sometimes like me 1:28.
You think that is confusing? Oh go to my school for a year, & you'll be like "WTF is going on with the schedule!?"
-
grr at my stupid sleeping pattern!
-
so what time do you start school, and what time does it end?
Start @ 9:00, finish @ 3:30
-
You lucky ducks!
on monday/wednesday/friday's I have practice at school, so I stay till like 5:30/6PM....ugh.
Manda
-
Mine can start at 8:30 and end at 4:35- thats my longest day. But equally i have days that start at 11:35 and end at 2:45 (short day!) or a half day on Thursdays.
-
so what time do you start school, and what time does it end?
Start @ 9:00, finish @ 3:30
omg, you're so lucky! Mine starts at 7:55 and ends at 3.
-
7:55 is the tardy bell for me and I have a tick for tardiness *twitch twitch*
we get out at 2:55, most Junior's and Seniors ditch/get out early though, I'm one of the few who stay until 2:55, and later because of practice.
