Why do I feel tired all the time when I am at home?
A few years ago I started feeling very tired and sleepy despite getting decent sleep at night. I remember this problem started during a period in which I was meditating regularly, so there may be some correlation to it.
At some point I fixed this problem by decreasing my time on my phone, then I got a job with a night shift, and for a while I had this problem again but soon after finishing my contract I felt better.
Now it has started again and I don't know what to do (I didn't increase my time on my phone). I learned that sugar is responsible for my energy levels, and the last few years I tried eating less sugary foods. So I started again eating more sugar to see if I feel less tired but the results are uncertain. Eating sweets and fruits really doesn't seem to help, or at least not always.
Also I've been vegetarian for a decade or so, and I didn't notice any difference by taking the supplements the doctor gave me.
Like I said, I have this problem only when I'm at home. If I am out I'm fine, unless it's a brief 10 minutes walk several of which I normally take during the day, but now that it is summer it's a less amount. I also work out regularly so lack of activity is unrelated to this problem.
With the summer heat now I also get bad sleep. I fall asleep later in the night and also wake up later but not by much. In the morning I wake feeling tired, sleepy and groggy, just like I wake up from a nap later in the day. This makes things worse but my problems with tiredness existed already when I was getting decent sleep.
I feel like shit, it's painful and depressing and I desperately need help to feel less tired and get better sleep.
