Q: Very tired getting zoned out

I don't know if this subject belongs in this particular forum but for the past couple days I have been very tired at work. Not to the point of falling asleep at my desk...but my eyes are just heavy and I feel drained?
This is a very unsual thing for me. I just want to lie down and take a nap all the time. And I am and never have been a nap person. I feel a little zoned out too. It's just out of the ordinary for me. It's not like I have been getting no sleep. On Average I sleep about 8 hrs a night. No life changing events....I have a 13 month old little girl...but I am used to that. It's just strange and I just wanted to see if anyone could see a reason why.
Thanks. Smile

The change of seasons might trigger this innate change. As we move from summer to autumn, we prepare for winter...a season when our ancestors RESTED A LOT. I, too, have noticed that I prefer to sleep some more during this time. I'd suggest that you follow your instincts and take a 20 minute nap. Try it out. Set the timer and just relax!
