Title: Tiredness...
Post by: Laura on February 21, 2004, 05:06:57 pm
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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

unlike some people at my school, I don't go to school in my jammies.

Post by: Tia on February 22, 2004, 01:24:23 pm
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 :?
Title: Tiredness...
Post by: Manda on February 22, 2004, 01:26:56 pm
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.

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.

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.
Title: Tiredness...
Post by: Laura on February 22, 2004, 02:12:12 pm
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 ;)

Post by: Laura on February 24, 2004, 07:14:20 pm
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!?"

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.

The times Tia said are the normal times of a primary and secondary school here.
