I am always so tired and worn out! I never have any energy and always feel I could conk out and go to sleep at any given moment. Is it possible this is because I do not get adequate rest at night? I normally go on only 4-5 hrs of sleep each night.

Yes, it certainly could be because of that! Is there a reason you are getting so little sleep? I know I haven't slept well for the past week and I'm exhausted. Iron deficiency can also cause you to be tired all the time so you should probably be checked by a doctor.

That amount of sleep is insufficient for the majority of people. If you can alter that situation, that is what you need to do.

I would look at your work and life list. I see many people complain about sleep but when you dig a little deeper most times they bring it on themselves.

Right, and most of the time there are things you can do. Like, not having a TV in the bedroom so that you aren't tempted to watch when you should be sleeping.

You have to make an effort to get sufficient sleep, 7-8 hours each night, but it has to be quality. If you don't, your body will eventually shut down.

In addition to what has been said here so far, your body will not only shut down, but your immune system will reduce significantly, leaving your body virtually open to any viruses floating around.

Sometimes I over react (don't we all?) and its like being so tired makes you think of things like lime diseases and whatnot. Its just insane how hard we are all working ourselves lately.

I have needed more sleep than most always say. I have been tested and the doctors can not find anything but the only time I can sleep is when I am either sick or insanely over worked (or just over tired).
