Sometimes I feel so old. I want to sleep all the time. On weekdays, it's so hard to wake up at 6am, and most days I hit snooze until about 6:30 (or usually set a second alarm for 6:30 and turn the 6 o'clock on off). Even if I go to bed at 9pm (I rarely make it past 10pm.), I still wake up tired. Sometimes, I come home after work and take a quick nap until it's time for me to pick my husband up at work and hit the gym.
On weekends, I'm even worse. I want to sleep in (9:30 seems to be my wake-up time these days.) and sometimes take a nap in the afternoons. When I don't get to take that nap, I'm dead tired after about 5pm. Especially if I've spent the day walking around (albeit in a mall and other shopping centers). Eating better and exercising has helped a little, but really if I have to choose between going out and taking a nap/going to sleep, sleep wins. Forget about going out on weeknights. I don't know how people do that.
So anyways, it's 11pm, and we just got home from hanging out at a friend's house. I'm exhausted but too full to sleep. I want to sleep tomorrow away but a) my husband hates when I sleep the day away (although it means he can play his videogames undisturbed), b) I have tons of grading to do again already, c) we have a class that we are taking at the gym tomorrow, d) there are a billion leaves to be raked off the lawn & sidewalks, and e) my house needs a serious cleaning. I can't imagine how I'm going to function when we have kids! I wonder how old I'll feel and how much sleepier I'll be when I turn 30 in a couple of months.

Honestly, it feels like stress to me and not so much tiredness. You have SO much going on at school--no curriculum, no planning period, etc... I would want to sleep all the time too!
I'm pretty much like this year-round. I've been tested for anemia, low iron, and thyroid stuff, but there's nothing evident. Maybe I'm just always stressed?
