Not being funny, but what condition is your mattress in? Ours is knackered after 5 years and I only noticed a couple of months ago I keep waking feeling tired with a bad back.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostHow does everyone deal with not feeling knackered all the time. Had it for a two years.
Thought my jacking my main job and going back to being a jobbing contractor the extra time would pay off. But no matter how much or how little or how much I drink or don't drink I wake up feeling like tulip every day and unprepared for the week.
How do you break this cycle???
The mattress police on google reckon to change your mattress every 5-7 years and that tiredness can be the result of a bad or worn mattress.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

There could be several reasons for tiredness:
- Medical - something like diabetes can have those symptoms
- Stress - your body is being whacked by anxiety
- Boredom
I find the latter one to be the most demanding in terms of making me struggle to get through the working day. If I'm working on something really interesting where I can keep my brain engaged I don't get tired, but otherwise clockwatching and counting the minutes down to going home time becomes a favourite pastime.Comment

Not tired but I felt very sort of uninspired for a few weeks recently. Then I plugged my little bedside CD player back in that I had turned off because it was buzzing and I suddenly feel good again. It was around when I unplugged it that I started feeling crappy.

Find somewhere to take a 20 min nap during your lunch break. You'll definitely feel a lot more productive (not on cUK!).Comment
