Exhausted By The End Of The Day

[twe0708]

Is anyone else exhausted by the end of the day?  I work full-time and enjoy working.  I have no problems getting up early but I like to be home on the weekends no later than 10:00 bc I am usually tired by 9, so 10 is pushing it.  I'm sure it has something to do with all my vitamin levels still being off but my husband doesn't seem to understand why I can't stay out late at night.  I enjoy getting up early and staying busy all day, but when I am out of energy, which is usually by 9 or 10, I like to call it a day.  Staying out later for him means hanging out with friends and drinking more.  We never go to a movie and dinner as a group, it's always to hang out and drink.  I'm not much of a drinker in my 40s and he says I'm being selfish when I don't want to stay out later.

To me, it just sounds like you are a grown- up. You get up early and are busy all day. You should be tired by 9. Seems natural. Maybe if he got up when you do and went to work then worked on the house stuff at night or all day Saturday, he would be tired, too?

I'm 28 and that is my routine! We're just early birds versus night owls....

I feel the same way. I'm exhausted at 9. I wish I wasn't...Hoping that will improve.

Thank you for all the replies.  It's good to know this is normal for my age.

Same here exactly. Same bedtimes, same husband. 

 

If I know we're going out to dinner with friends, I have to plan for it all day as far as resting, and I usually have coffee before we leave. Of course this means I don't accomplish any house stuff or errands and it all snowballs. You know how it goes, I'm sure.

 

He is slowly understanding that I'm not saying I'm tired because I don't want to go…I'm REALLY TIRED!!! Bone crushing tired sometimes but getting better and better!
