Not sure if this is just me! I do exercise a lot n have for years, but was always energetic, i would be fine with little sleep! But since having this illness i feel i need a lot more sleep n if i dont get enough it really shows on me! Anyone else feel this! I feel on my days off a spend half of it catching up on sleep! Anyone else found this or is it jus at 34 my bodys gettin old n needs more sleeo?

Your getting old Donna

Seriously though I would suggest you speak with your gp about your tiredness if it's becoming a problem, they want to carry out some blood tests to determine the cause.
 
Have you been on a carb fest? Carbs are notorious for putting you to sleep.
 
I do like carbs but not been eating as much as i used to! N i have jus had some blood tests done as i got a letter saying some things came back neg in bloods so unsure if i have typical type 1 defo not type 2 so trying to determine my type etc so maybe thats something to do with it! Or maybe im jus gettin old!
