Okay.

So for 6 months now I've been constantly tired. I'm eating healthy, I'm exercising, unfortunately I'm smoking but my mom (who is a educated nurse) says that it's not the problem. It would be the problem if I smoked before going to bed, which I don't. I eat fruit to keep my energy up and I'm drinking tons of water every day so I can get through school. Still I'm completely exhausted all the time. Sometimes I can go to bed at 4 pm right after school and then sleep until 7:45 am.

What's more frustrating is that if I sleep 8 hours (which is recommended by my psychologist and doctor), I'm completely exhausted when I wake up, when I sleep 9 hours I'm still exhausted and when I sleep 7 hours I'm still exhausted. One time, not long ago, I slept from 4 pm to 6 pm, so 14 hours and I was still tired when I woke up.

I'm tired right now, but it's too early for me to go to bed and I don't want to start with sleeping pills because then it would take forever for me to wake up in the morning.

Does anyone know if I should talk to our school nurse about this? Because this is bothering me. I never have time for my friends anymore because I'm so tired 24/7.
