Is this from being tired?

5 Replies

Okay I’ve heard others and also seen commercials of the afternoon slump, where you feel tored and want to sleep ... I don’t know if this is what I’m experiencing but at different times of the day I feel like someone has sucked the energy out of me.. my head feels foggy I feel drained and my body has no energy, sometimes I feel a bit shaky also... Is this the afternoon slump people talk about bc it always gives me anxiety... I wonder if it’s from being tired since I don’t sleep right or if I’m about to oassnout from something else?

I had this issue. I still do but It started getting better when I started getting better sleep. Having a bad night can mess with your energy and make you feel very fatigued. You can also try eating healthy foods that can give you more energy throughout the day.

Definitely, we need 7-8 hours of sleep or it can affect our health. Try to nap in the day when your baby takes a nap. Falling asleep an hour earlier can also help.

Thanks

8 hous a night is the bare minimum but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be getting more. taking 1 or two short naps during the day and having snacks throughout paired with healthy meals is more natural. the “afternoon slump” is often a symptom of overworking. stress can make it difficult to sleep and stay asleep.
