very tired and lethargic..

[Techn0]

Hi,

I'm finding that I seem to be very tired and lethargic all the time recently. I'm doing about 30 hours a week at work(mainly 9 hour shifts behind a bar) and doing my 3rd year at university on the other 3 days. So I get a day off every 2 week's.

It isn't really bad as such, as I bet many people work horrendous hours.

I've found my training and gym has gone out of the window completely, plus my diet hasn't been great recently. I don't even have the energy to go out to the pub, which is highly unusual.

Any tips to pep my self up and get a bit more out of my days?

First off I would go to the doctors for a check up. Might be extreme but had similar and found out I had type 2 diabetes. Poor diet would mean high sugars and exacerbate the problem

Have you noticed going to the toilet more regularly? That's another syptom

Sleep and rest is your friend.

When I was younger I workerd in a bar and its not easy work as you are on your feet all day, you work late nights and start early again in the morning sometimes. I now do a lot more hours a week than you do but working that many hours in a bar each week is hard work.

Just make sure you sort the diet out (don't forget breakfast) and get a decent nights sleep.

Sounds like the majority of students

Vitamin D deficiency?

Apparently this is the peak time for our natural supplies to be depleted, especially if you didn't top up your supplies via natural sunlight the previous summer.

Chronic tiredness is a symptom.

What are you studying? And what is your typical diet?
