I've been so fucking tired when geting up for the past 2-3weeks... What should I do, increase my sleeping time?

Hell, it was like that as I was a kid calling accross Canada. Calling my grandfather in Montreal was a "once a year" ordeal. calling relatives in scotland... HAH!

Well, at least in my case, more sleep doesn't fit. Unless you're as idle as I am, (if yes, get some excercise), then you're fucked. Welcome to the modern world. Enjoy your ulcer.

But he's right, Ellestin, get more exercise. Making sleep more efficient is one of the many miracles of working out.

Being ass-tired when you wake up is such a shitty feeling. I've added a sore back to the stew over the past week or so.

I feel you on the lack-of-sleep thing, it sucks a whole lot. I try to catch cat naps whenever I can to maximize rest, but usually the weekend is just all that much more wonderful do to sleep-time.

yeah, going to sleep earlier helps tremendously.

2 days simply aren't enough to make up for 5 days of shit sleep. You feel great monday and by tuesday you're back down low again. The only help is to burn the stress off with excercise to maximize the benefit of said sleep. We're not designed to be sedentary animals.

We evolved and weren't designed.
I think being tired is part of the definition of being a human.

Being tired is part of the definition of being a human in western society the way we've shaped it, yes. But as a whole, I'd disagree.
Edit: Upon further thought, I guess it depends on many factors and context when viewing humanities history as a whole.

I was joking in the second comment to show that comments about it's western society that makes us tired is absurd. How would you know that our cousins in the trees/savanna weren't tired all the time either? It's just a baseless assertion.

Yeah, I already changed my post upon further thought.
Maybe there has just been a shift from a primarily "physical exhaustion" based society to "mental exhaustion" based society. (Hunting/Gathering/etc, to Office/Desk/etc work largely).Anyways, shrug. I'm not putting any real thought into this. I've slept less than 4 hours the past few days, whatever. Work takes too many hours away from the day, I refuse to sleep early.

The thing about physical exhaustion: rest alone can make it go away. I've had plenty of it and never bitched. I'm worked till I was bleeding and felt like ass for 2 days, but after that I was just grand.
Mental exhaustion is much more difficult to remove, especially with the invention of smart-phones and the 24/7/365 always-on office lifestyle thats so prevalent and so difficult to get away from. Its also more malignant, it can't always be quantified on workload alone, it can come from all sorts of sources.
Your average hunter gatherer got his food and called it a day. After his hunting and gathering he shagged his wife, beat his children and went to bed.
