14 Things Chronically Tired People Say

"Tired" is what we are on a good day. On a normal day, we're exhausted, weary zombies pining for a nap instead of brains.

I'm always tired, no matter what. And I know I say the same things over and over again to the point my friends have pointed them out ... I always want naps, I always need coffee and I just love my sleep. Being tired has become a part of my personality, and I'm kind of OK with it, especially since I get naps out of it. Check out the things my type of people typically say!

1. "OK, but first, coffee."

If you haven't had coffee yet and someone tries to talk to you, they should just give up now since you're probably still asleep anyway. You live and breathe coffee. Without it, you're a zombie. You need coffee before any kind of social interaction, any physical activity, just before your day even starts.

2. "...with a turbo shot please"

When you're tired, you live off coffee and caffeine. But when you're tired every second of every day, you need a little extra to keep your eyes open no matter the day.

3. "When can I go home?"

You don't go a few minutes without thinking about your bed, curling up and napping. Your day revolves around ending one activity to get one step closer to bedtime. You count down the hours until you can go home since you've got a date with destiny there, and by destiny, I mean your bed.


4. "Sorry I'm in a bad mood. I haven't had my nap today."

We live for naps. When 2 p.m. rolls around, we're ready. Heck, we're ready anytime for a nap, but when we don't have one, there's no saving us. We'll be cranky for hours on end until we can finally shut our eyes, so don't even dare to push our buttons.


5. "Is it acceptable to nap on my break?"

Would I rather eat dinner right now to get the energy needed to go back to work? Or should I just nap? 9/10 we eat for a few minutes, then shut our eyes and hope a coworker will come back and find us to get us up to start working again. (But we secretly hope they don't, so we can sleep until our shift if over...)

6. "I won't fall asleep, I promise!"

The movies, a party, a gathering, a car ride, no matter where we are, we say we won't fall asleep and try our hardest, but we're bad at keeping promises...


But because of our gift of always being tired, we are capable of falling asleep wherever and whenever. Just give me some sort of surface, and within a few minutes I'll be down for the count.

7. "Excuse me!"

Since we yawned for the millionth time in the past 20 minutes.

(I even yawned while looking up "yawning animal pictures"...)

8. "I'm going to have to leave early."

You love your sleep. You need at least eight hours every night or you'll be a complete wreck the next day. And so whenever your friends make plans, they always seem to want to hang out later at night, and as we said earlier, you like to be in bed at nine. So you're always the one leaving soirees early because you've got prior commitments with your bed.


9. "How long will this take?"

You're tired all the time, and therefore you get tired of things easily. In order for you to stay awake, you need to be constantly busy and constantly doing new things. Otherwise, you'll get distracted and start daydreaming, and you may even fall asleep wherever you may be.

10. "What's the latest possible time I can be there?"

OK, so the event starts at 10:30 a.m. ... Doors open at 9 a.m., but I can get there at 10 a.m. and still be "on time" ... It takes 15 minutes to get there if I stop and get coffee ... I need 45 minutes to shower and get ready ... So I'll wake up at 9 a.m. ...(hopefully)

You want to get as much sleep as possible every night, so you plan out your mornings to a T so you can sleep in as much as you can without missing out on anything.

11. "I got 10 hours of sleep last night. Why am I still so tired?"

No matter what, we are always tired. We sleep five hours, we're tired. We sleep eight hours, we're tired. We sleep 10 hours, we're tired. There's no stopping this feeling...

12. "My hobbies including napping..."

Whenever there's some sort of questionnaire or "About Me," you can guarantee napping/sleeping will be on ours. We're always tired and are probably always napping, so why lie? Just embrace the love of naps.

13. "I wish I was sleeping."

We wake up ... we wish we were sleeping. We get in the shower ... we wish we were sleeping. We're at work ... we wish we were sleeping. There are few things we would rather do than sleep...

14. "I'm just so tired."

This is our slogan. This is our life. And whenever we say it, we always get the "You're always tired" comment and sass from our friends, but the truth is we are just really always tired, and we can't really help it. Just let us nap in peace.


And now I'm going to go to take a nap, and I think you should, too.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
