drowsy

[xoder]

It appears that no matter how much sleep I get, I'm still tired. It has begun to worry me. My thirst has increased, but I think that's largely due to the fact that I'm getting used to 1L+ per day again, and miss it when its gone. The only things that spring to mind are SAD, Diabetes [which I strongly doubt — although I always crave sweets, I'm not strongly overweight (BMI=26ish), and I don't bruise easily, which IIRC, is a symptom], or depression. But I don't feel generally depressed either. I'm sure I'll figure it out, or it'll go away.

Gee, that sounds pretty familiar... Well, if I slep through all my classes in a day I'd be pretty well energized, by which I mean too pissed at myself to fall back asleep again, much less get to sleep the next night. But let's face facts: Rochester is SAD hell, RIT is stress/depression city, and sure as hell not very conducive to regular sleep, and, well... I hate to say it, but none of us are getting any younger. And with the patterns of poor physical upkeep that occur in college (irregular sleep, oodles of stress, sometimes subpar nutrition, not to mention the aforementioned psychological stuff that can be either an additional cause or simply an exacerbating side effect of these things), the human body and spirit can get a bit tattered about the edges, and your resiliancy to some of these things will begin to decline over time - something I began to experience after about three years in school. Though in my case that probably had to do more with my sleep schedule being totally fucked and my penchant for excess in my consumptions...

I would seriously doubt diabetes as remotely possible in your case. More need for quality sleep, and/or a sleep disorder, though, is totally possible... sleep apnea, for example, can get pretty debillatating, or so I hear...
