I don’t know if this will make sense, so I’ll just ramble for a bit and see what comes out. I’m also not sure whether this should be classified under “relationships” or “sleep”, so I’ll just go with this and if it gets moved that’s fine. To be clear, I’m not in a relationship now; I’m single and I’d like to form a serious relationship with a deep emotional connection to someone. Also, no, there isn’t a specific person in the frame right now – this is a thing about relationships/dating in general.

I’ve written other posts about the tiredness I’m feeling (HERE and HERE), so, if you want more information, please go there, but the gist of it is that I do a lot of stuff with my free-time (in addition to working), but can’t seem to get enough sleep to get me throughout the week (not for lack of trying). This leaves me in a pretty constant state of exhaustion and I find myself just going through the motions with a lot of stuff.

As I mentioned above, I would like to meet someone and start a relationship, but I find this hard to achieve, due to being tired all the time. Realistically, how am I likely to meet someone and form a connection if I’m always exhausted? Tiredness is hardly an endearing quality and meeting people/dating can take a lot out of you anyway. I know that meeting someone isn’t the be all and end all of everything, which is why I try to live my life for myself and do stuff I enjoy, but I would still like to try and meet someone if possible. What can I do to improve my situation here? I’m guessing it’ll be something to do with improving my sleep situation, but I don’t know how to address it, or even if there’s something I *can* do.
