I am so tired and can’t get anything done

I’m feeling incredibly drained and can’t seem to accomplish anything lately. This has been an ongoing struggle for me, but it’s gotten especially bad recently. I’m exhausted every single day and often find myself fighting to stay awake in class. My lack of focus is frustrating, and I know I’m not getting enough sleep, but it’s tough when I have to wake up at 5:30 AM. By the time I get home around 5, I just crash into bed and end up scrolling through my phone because I’m too worn out to do anything else. Yet, somehow, I can’t manage to fall asleep until at least 11 PM.

Right now, I’ve got a huge pile of schoolwork and reading to catch up on, but I genuinely lack the energy to tackle it all. A typical school day from 8 AM to 3 PM completely drains me, and I’m struggling to keep up with my classes. I feel like there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done. Sometimes, I’m ready to sleep by 4 PM! Just needed to vent a bit because I’m really frustrated with myself.

  1. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way. It sounds incredibly exhausting to juggle such a demanding schedule and still try to keep up with schoolwork. It can be really hard to find the right balance, especially when you’re feeling drained all the time.

    Have you considered looking at your daily routine to see if there are any adjustments you can make? Even small changes, like reducing screen time before bed or setting a consistent bedtime, might help improve your sleep quality. Also, finding little pockets of time during the day where you can take breaks, stretch, or even just breathe deeply could give you a bit of energy to push through.

    It might also be worth reaching out to a teacher or counselor about how you’re feeling. They might be able to provide support or advice, or even help you manage your workload better. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help when you need it.

    You’re definitely not alone in this struggle, and it’s great that you’re expressing how you feel. Hang in there; you’re doing the best you can!
