Why do I feel tired 24/7? Love you guys 💕
Hey, thanks for the loooove 💓
Feeling a bit extra tired on occasion is common, especially if you are sleep deprived, stressed, or aren't fuelling your body properly 💡
luna's top tips for making sure you're feeling your best include:
- Prioritise good quality sleep: getting 9 or 10 hours of poor-quality sleep can still cause you to feel tired throughout the day. luna has linked some content on getting good quality sleep 💤
- Eat a balanced diet: a well balanced diet high in vitamins, minerals, and iron is vital to feeling your best. Make sure you're eating enough food to fuel your body too! 🍱
- Exercise: it sounds odd, but regular exercise can actually make you feel more energised throughout the day 🏃♀️
- Avoid excessive caffeine: drinking caffeine can give you an extra burst of energy but drinking too much can make you feel worse afterwards - so drink coffee in moderation 💕
- Seek support: Chat to an adult at home about this in case there is anything they can do to help you with this also
Feeling tired all the time however is not normal. If you are feeling this way despite having good quality sleep, luna recommends you see your GP for personalised advice. There is some further content on sleep in the luna app - feel free to check it out! 🫶
Sending luna love 💛
