Too tired for college!!


I'm on an adult course at college to enable me to go to university next year (well, year after that now!) however I have a stack of coursework due in tomorrow and I haven't done it as I've been so tired! My sleeping today alone has been as followed:
2am-9.30am sleep (only because found out preggers at about 1am after work)
11.30am-7.30pm sleep (only up at 9.30 so I could go doctors)

The reason I took the test was because I am incredibly tired and distracted. It's getting worse!!

HELP!!!!!

Even writting this I've felt like I can't concentrate properly on it. I want more sleep!!!!!

Hey, popping over from 3rd tri. I know how you feel! My whole 1st trimester I spent in school. Since I found out and I was indeed tired. I failed all my classes that semester I was so lazy and I couldn't concentrate at all! I would be in class listening but when I got home I would forget everything and my notes made no sense to mee. I decided to attend this semester eventho the last day is my due date! It does get better but the 1st tri you are just overly exhausted as yur body is working overtime creating yur LO and its support system.

My tiredness didn't seem to really go away until 16 or 18 weeks. & its back again =] but I can focus more in class as in the begining I was worried about my baby, thinking about what its going to be like, blah blah lol. & yeah I tried telling myself im doing this for my baby but I still couldn't concentrate. But hopefuly things get better for yu sooner rather than later so yu can focus!.

Good Luck!
& yeah kinda cool my due date falls on mothers day =]

I go to college and do a childcare cours (ironically) and we have many assignments to get done and with my course i have to go to a primary school every other week (which i have to walk 1 mile to and 1 mile back 5 days a week) and i am exhausted and passed out after going to college for 3 days when all i had to do was get on a bus there so am dreading next week =( just want to quit college really (i dont need to go to college for the job i want in future i did it to make my parents proud cos im the only one who went to college - just CANT go on!!) and girls in my class are making fun of me it's awful =( just wanna stay at home 24/7 and rest

I know how you feel! I'm beyond exhausted, and Hubby just thinks I'm milking it. Try to figure out when you're least tired in the day and get as much stuff done in that short time as poss. I know that I crash and burn at about 3pm, so I work from 7am until then and give myself the rest of the day off when I can. We'll feel better in a few weeks, I'm told. xxxxx

i have the same, i seem to get really sleepy at about 2.30pm and really have trouble keeping my eyes open. I work from home which is very lucky otherwise people would wonder why i'm falling asleep at my desk all the time. My DH thinks i'm milking it too!

I work from home too, thank goodness! Mind you, sometimes I think I might do better at the actual working if I had someone to tell me what to do! Just been swimming to try and gee myself up a bit, but I'm zonked now. :s xxx
