A change in daily life
I felt really fatigued over the weekend, as if I wasn't fully awake. It's a really terrible feeling.
This weekend wasn't the only time I've been fatigued. It has been other times too, and it's too often. I didn't know if it was because I don't excersize enough, or maybe I wasn't eating right, or maybe it was stress or sleep...
So I looked it up online. The web site I read from was very enlightening. It made me realize that the main problem is my diet. I eat wayyy to many "processed foods" such as TV dinners and microwave junk. There's no energy in processed foods. The web site reccomended eating lots of vegetables, at least a whole serving a day. Vegetables are a major source of energy as well as good health (and that's good for me because I don't like fruit X_x).
Also I wasn't drinking enough water a day. I learned that for the body to be fully hydrated it needs at least 4pts. (8 cups) of water a day. So I tried thats... Today I drank 8 cups of water, and MAN DID I HAVE TO PEE!!! But ya know what, I didn't get tired! I also had a whole serving of spinach (Yummy ^^)!
Sleep is another major factor that plays into good health. For the sleep part I went to a different web site that gave 29 tips on how to get a good night sleep. The one that caught my attention was the tip that said, "Sleep with little to no light". Man, I can't do that! Not to sound like a baby, but I've slept with a night light for my whole life. I'm not affraid of the dark- I'm not scared that the "boogy monster" is gonna get me or something- Just being in pure darkness freaks me out. I feel really uncomfortable in it. In my room I don't have any external light pouring in too- no street light, no house light, nothing. Anyway, my night-light is dim anyway. It's not like I'm shining a spot light into my eyes, but I can tell it is having an effect on me, a slight one. So I asked my mom to keep an eye out for those old-lady black cover things they put over their eyes when they go to bed. I bet it'll work.
So besides the light waking me up, the only other thing I'll have to worry about when it comes to sleep is my crazy dreams!

I'm always tired. It's not fun at all. I might go try to eat more veggies and lots more water. I don't drink nearly enough water as I should. It's probably not a good thing. Sleeping is also a good habit to pick up. Your post was cool and very informative.
