How long do we have to keep living like this bro

It's just so brutal. I feel so tired everyday despite doing nothing

Feeling exhausted every day even if you aren’t doing much can have a lot of different causes — some physical, some mental, and some lifestyle-related. Here are a few broad areas to think about:

---

1. Physical Health Factors​

• Sleep quality: Even if you’re “resting,” poor sleep quality (sleep apnea, irregular schedule, not enough deep sleep) can leave you drained.
• Nutrition: Low iron, B12, or vitamin D levels are common causes of fatigue. Not eating enough protein or calories overall can also cause low energy.
• Hydration: Dehydration can mimic tiredness.
• Medical conditions: Thyroid issues, anemia, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, or infections can all cause persistent tiredness.

---

2. Lifestyle Contributors​

• Sedentary routine: Oddly, doing nothing all day can make you feel more tired because your body isn’t getting circulation or stimulation. Light exercise (like walking) often increases energy.
• Screen time: Long periods on phones or computers can drain you mentally without you realizing it.
• Caffeine: Too much or at the wrong time can disrupt sleep cycles and leave you more tired long term.

---

3. Mental & Emotional Health​

• Stress or anxiety: Even if you don’t feel “active,” background stress can be exhausting.
• Depression: Fatigue and lack of motivation are common symptoms.
• Boredom / lack of stimulation: Doing nothing can make your brain under-stimulated, which paradoxically creates feelings of tiredness.

---

4. What You Can Try​

• Establish a regular sleep routine and track your sleep quality.
• Get light daily activity — even 10–15 minutes of walking can make a difference.
• Stay hydrated and eat balanced meals.
• Get basic blood work checked (iron, thyroid, vitamin D, etc.) to rule out deficiencies.
• Limit phone/computer time before bed.
• Check in with yourself emotionally — sometimes fatigue is your body’s way of saying something is off mentally or emotionally.

---

If this has been going on for weeks/months and lifestyle tweaks don’t help, it’s worth talking with a doctor. A simple blood panel can sometimes reveal the cause right away.


Do you want me to suggest a step-by-step daily routine you could test for a week to see if it improves your energy?

Yes please

 

[User28823]

Yes please

Got it Here’s a simple one-week routine you can test to see if your energy improves. It’s structured but flexible — you can adjust times to your schedule.

One-Week Energy Routine​

Night Before (Sleep Prep)​

• Go to bed at the same time every night (aim for 7–9 hrs).
• No screens 30–60 min before bed → swap with reading, journaling, or light stretching.
• Cool, dark room → ideally 65–68°F (18–20°C).

---

Morning​

• Wake at a consistent time (even weekends).
• 10 min of sunlight → step outside or sit by a window right after waking.
• Drink a glass of water before coffee/tea.
• Light movement → 5–10 min stretch or walk.

---

Meals & Hydration​

• Balanced breakfast → protein (eggs, Greek yogurt, protein shake) + whole carbs (oats, fruit).
• Stay hydrated → aim for ~2–3L water/day.
• Lunch & dinner → include lean protein, fiber (veggies), and healthy fats.
• Limit sugar spikes → swap soda/candy for fruit, nuts, or dark chocolate.
• Caffeine cutoff → stop by 2pm to protect sleep.

---

Daytime​

• Pomodoro movement → every 60–90 min, stand up, stretch, or walk for 2–5 min.
• 20–30 min walk outside after lunch (helps fight the “afternoon crash”).
• Brain break → read, meditate, or do breathing exercises for 5–10 min mid-afternoon.

---

Evening​

• Light activity → 15–30 min walk, yoga, or bodyweight exercise.
• Eat dinner 2–3 hrs before bed (avoid heavy late meals).
• Wind-down routine → dim lights, stretch, or journal what went well that day.

---

Extra Tips​

• Track how you feel each day (1–10 energy scale).
• If after a week you notice zero improvement, that’s a sign it could be a medical issue (worth checking labs: iron, thyroid, vitamin D, etc.).
• If you see small improvements, keep going another 2–3 weeks — habits compound.

Want me to also make a printable daily checklist (morning / afternoon / evening boxes to tick off) so you can track easily?

You feel tired because you’re malnourished.

 

[Slayfer]

Unlucky, UK sucks.

Shitty nutrition and never any sunlight.

If I lived there I would have a nihilistic view and just not care about anything.

Here’s your printable daily checklist for the energy routine:

You can tick each box morning, afternoon, and evening to keep yourself on track. Do you want me to also make a weekly version where you can track all 7 days on a single page?

Also I didn't mean walks by "go outside" I just meant getting sunlight.

I lay on the ground in my lawn(backyard) 30 min a day to get my daily outside time, but it's probably harder for you due to the lack of sunlight.

Ah fair enough yea I could do that probably not as much now though since its cold most of the time but fresh air is important

If you’re eating multiple times a day, then you’re eating plants.

Raw carnivore or death.
