I feel perpetually sleepy.

I have a hard time napping during the day- scratch that I can’t nap during the day. My anxiety makes it impossible. However the second I crack open a book I feel like I’m going to pass out. It’s very strange.

    Speaking from only my own last issues that were similar: I had a massive vitamin D deficiency. Was tired but had issues sleeping. Became depressed etc. Finally had blood work done/doc visit when I started having suicidal thoughts.

    OP, just schedule a doc visit tomorrow morning, plz.

        I’d still recommend getting a blood test. I live in the United States’s Pacific Northwest and I have to take 10k IUs every day to hit low normal in the winter. Don’t do that on your own without testing, it’s a huge dose. I just seem to absorb it poorly.

        In case you also live in a similar area, I also use a sunrise lamp and a SAD light all fall and winter long and it makes a huge difference in my energy levels and overall motivation.
