ankit -
When I was a young whippersnapper I had the stamina to function on 4-6 hours of sleep for extended periods. The caveat was that I could make up for the lack of sleep on the weekend. Now those days are long gone.
Today at age 42 I need 8 hours to stay healthy, but I rarely get that much,
. Too many sub-8-hour days just wears me into the ground. I think my wife needs closer to 9+ hours to have a good day. Every metabolism is different.
I don't want to know any details, but are there other stress factors going on in your life? When I had tough times, I learned to deliberately use lots of sleep to get through them. Maybe your body is just trying to deal with the stress by saying "I'm tired and I want to sleep on it".
Healthy food (especially breakfast) will definitely make a difference. I usually go on Robek's/Jamba Juice binges to try to get through the day when I am getting worn out.
IMO hondaworkshop just said some good stuff.
Hmmmm, I never had allergies in the past, but maybe I have some today. This thread may have helped me more than you, or just fed into my hypochondria,
.
