5 Things You Know If You're Always Tired

Are you part of the 'ever-sleepy' club?

Sleep: a necessity. Something pretty much everyone enjoys. But there are a select few brave men and women who consider themselves 'ever-sleepy.' These rare creatures are united by the fact they never stop thinking about where their next ...among a few other things.

1. Caffeine/sugar/energy drinks are your best friend

If you're anything like me, the minute you wake up you're ready to go back to sleep. This means that over the years, you've adopted some sort of unhealthy routine to keep your eyes open and bring you out of your morning zombie funk. Overly sugary cereal + Redbull + Dunkin Donuts iced coffee with extra sugar?! Sign me up.

2. Your day isn't complete without a nap

Being up for 12+ hours with no interruption is just not how we roll. Whether it's a sneaky 20 minutes between classes, or a longer pre/post dinner slumber, our days just wouldn't be the same without being able to catch some extra Zzzs. Bonus points if you have a designated time every day where you nap...we call this, 'the pre-sleep-sleep.'

3. You start most conversations with the phrase, 'Sorry, I'm Tired.'

Whenever someone asks you how you're doing, the first thing out of your mouth probably has something to do with the fact that you didn't get enough sleep. There's something about letting everyone you talk to know that you can never sleep long enough that excuses your constant yawns, possible over-rubbing of the eyes, and 'just rolled out of bed'-style outfit.

4. 'Wanna go out?' 'No. I'm too tired.'

A classic conversation between you and your friends on the regular, if you're a sleepy person you're probably not the best at rallying to go out after a long day of being awake. You'd probably much rather lay in your bed in PJs and fall asleep watching an episode of Friends you've yet to complete because you always doze off in the same place.

5. You have some weird stories about places you've fallen asleep

Fallen asleep at a concert? Check. Standing up in a busy museum? Check again. As a person who respects sleep, when the opportunity for a nap strikes, you take it, no matter the stakes. These make for some funny stories, and some even funnier pictures of you passed out pretty much anywhere and everywhere.

Members of the ever-sleepy club, unite!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
