Out of curiosity, I pulled up an old post of mine from January of this year where I complained about being totally tired.  If you want to see it, here it is. http://forum.cakewalk.com/My-Coffee-is-Not-Working-m3146889.aspx If you do, I suggest you get help.
 
Anyway, I'm still tired. I mean that I'm exhausted. I wake up tired, drag through my day sleepy, drive home worn out, and sit like a lump until bedtime. I have sleep apnea, so I use a cpap machine to breathe at night. It's not good enough. I'm sluggishly tired.
 
I went back for another sleep study (I hate those), so we'll see what new tricks the doctor has up his sleeve. The doctor asked how long I've felt this way and I couldn't remember. I'm a lower functioning zombie with 4 hours of sleep. At 6 hours, I manage to sit upright and drink coffee. With 8 hours of sleep, I can drink coffee without burning myself. With 10 or more hours of sleep, I feel the same, but I'm sore from laying around for so long. All of that is, of course, just an excuse to whine about the fact that I'm totally tired. 
 
I know that some people get more creative when they're sleep deprived. Something flips in their heads and all sorts of wild ideas start flowing. I'm the opposite. My creativity takes a nose dive when I'm overly tired. I know myself well enough to know that for me to be at my most creative, I need to be well rested and well fed. I've been practicing the well fed part. I just want to get the well rested thing happening so I can get back up to speed. 
 
I was just curious if others in the Coffee House feel more or less creative when you're tired. (I also wanted to complain, but I can't top Bill's voice thing, so this was the best I could do.) Anyone else find themselves among the Walking Dead Tired?

My first thought is that you may be dehydrated. I learned a long time ago how much more energy I have (and sleep better) if I drink lots of water, and not the water in coffee and tea.
 
I cannot be creative when I'm tired, just doesn't work.

Bubba, you may be my long lost twin brother, yawn, I hope it gets, yawn, better real soon.

Bubba I Am Walking Dead Ugly.
 
I Am pretty Shure there is absolutely no cure for that 

You may be right, James. I know I probably guzzle more coffee than I should and a reasonable person would drink water instead. I've seen reasonable people. I've even known a few. I could probably imitate one for awhile. 
 
Ampfixer, I never really paid attention to genealogy, so there's a chance you're correct. There have been many times where my family wondered if someone at the hospital had played a prank on them. I, on the other hand, wished I had been raised by wolves. By the way, saying that really upsets the wolves.

I can't create when I'm tired. I can't play. I can't do much of anything. I can't even pos.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 

I feel for you Bubba. I know for me when the fatigue sets in I can't think and my mind stops working. Especially my memory. I can wish you well and to get better.  As far as being creative, I seem to be that way early in the morning. Rested is what I have to be to be creative. Good luck

Thyroid? 

Way back I was constantly tired. Turns out this was one of the symptoms of my type 2 Diabetes. Once diagnosed I got my blood sugar under control and the result is a big increase in energy.
 
I wouldn't panic but I would get checked out some time.

I wondered about the thyroid. Doc says my numbers are fine. He clipped off a tiny sliver of one fingernail and held it up. "This is how much weight you can keep. Lose the rest." When I questioned the validity of his degree he offered to have the excess weight boiled in a large vat he kept in a corner of his hut. My fingernail sliver seemed to like that idea. 
 
Cannibal doctors may be convenient, but I'm not sure they have my best interests at heart.
