Alright 🐠, I need help surviving.
I’m in my early 20s, avoid unhealthy foods, and get 7 hours of sleep. BUT by 2pm, I’m already falling asleep.
I’ve tried tea, coffee, etc.
What has worked for you?

Workout in the morning, it’s a great energy booster. You might have vitamin B12 deficiency as well. Go for a full health checkup, doctor can advise you better.

It’s definitely what you are eating. Like a bunch of people said try eating a lighter lunch. Fatigue is also often caused by food allergies/sensitivities (like gluten) so you could try cutting back on the bread/carbs and see how you feel

Try 8 hours...

I love the comments here. If you're tired, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that you are probably not getting enough sleep or high enough quality sleep. Despite what others would tell you, most people need 8-9 hours to function normally (which is why nobody sleeps 6-7 hours on weekends).

I’m in same bit. Super tired during the day. I have always mentioned this to doctors who have done all the test.ms, including sleep laps. Partially it’s because my work is boring, but partially it’s just normal for me. I sympathize!

Do not eat carbs for lunch, make it light with some protein and good fats. I’ve followed this for years and I’m rarely tired in the afternoon!

@op I suffer from a similar symptom set Don’t freak out just please visit a doctor as soon as possible. For me these things are taking years to diagnose and treat and aren’t so simple as a lifestyle changes. Please educate yourself on hypersomnulance if this isn’t a simple blood test or cpap fix. Also note that most sleep doctors are pulmonologist but a small set are neurologists. You may need to see both. You are your own health advocate. Please consider message boards for sleep where you can find others who are fighting this.

I'm not a reporter, I'm just a citizen who took a picture during an event and uploaded it to my social media account.

They just posted it without asking me, letting me know, or even mentioning my credits. Is this legal?
