Is it normal to always be tired?

I am always tired. It doesn't matter if I get 4 hours of sleep or 10, I always feel like I need a nap and I have no energy to do anything unless I drink like 4 cups of coffee. I could literally stay in bed all day except I have kids so that is impossible. Is this just a typical mom feeling or something else?

    It could be CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). I had it for 2.5 years. I was exhausted almost all of the time. Every morning I felt like I had a hangover. Couldn't even walk for 5 mins without feeling exhausted.

    I've heard a dozen middle-aged (+/-) moms say the same thing.

    You might be anemic. This is exactly how I feel when I don't take my iron supplement.

    There can be solutions though. Vitamin b-12 is just one example of a natural medicine that increases energy.
