Tired

[Richie]

I get really tired now, I fell asleep at 11pm last night & woke up at 8, which is a good 9 hours sleep. I felt I had a great sleep but now I'm so tired. I understand it could be my diet, only yesterday i've changed it, it is now a healthy balanced diet. Yet it feels like its after making things worse, energy wise.

You body might be used to the unbalanced diet you had previously, so its finding the balanced diet not what it was expecting, so it’s trying to adapt. So your tiredness could just be your body being unable to find energy where it used to. As your body gets used to the new diet it should get easier and you'll find yourself feeling more awake etc.

It might also be a virus or some sort of contagion that messing with your body's functions and rhythms, or forcing your body to work more to fight it making you more sleepy during the day when you're using more energy. If this is so, your change in diet could have influenced it as your body was unprepared for the change in nutrition and its now trying to adapt to two things as once.

I'd probably go with the diet, since it’s the most recent and heavily influencing factor in your life at present. But if more symptoms develop which suggest it’s a virus, you could go to the doctors, or take vast amounts of pain killers and cold/flu medication until you can’t think straight :).

Either way I don't think it would be anything serious, but if you're really worried, there are always the doctors or NHS Direct.
