I think I have TATT!!
Did you know (and this is
fact) that one of the most
common causes for GP
visits is overwhelming
tiredness!!…
GP’s actually short hand the
diagnosis by giving it a tag called
TATT otherwise knows as “Tired
All The TIME”. Tiredness comes in
various forms, it can be illustrated
by that feeling of heavy eyes as you
drive blissfully along the motorway
and suddenly realise that you are
covering 2 lanes of the road and
heading for the ditch… Thankfully,
the brain has this emergency button
and announces in a biochemical
fashion “hey, you with the hands
on the wheel, we’re heading for
problems”; adrenalin pumps in, you
quickly correct your wayward driving
12 Complete Health
and the guy behind you catches it all
on his illegal iPhone moviemaker and
you are then on A Current Affair that
night..
Is sleep all that important, can’t
we just take a power nap here and
there.? Well, it sounds like a good
idea however; when you are in that
state of deep sleep slumber, your
brain is actually taking this time to
cleanse itself of waste in the form of
proteins that builds up throughout
the day. Unless you grab that 7
hours of shuteye, things like mental,
physical and emotional needs of the
body aren’t being met. You simply
have to have time to allow your body
to cleanse, stabilise and heal itself.
Tiredness has many causes and
often one of the most frustrating
things to deal with. This tiredness
thing is a direct cause of lack of
sleep, spouses who snore like a
chainsaw, stress, and poor choice
of takeaway, too much Friday night
indulgence or maybe some other
metabolic process that upsets the
circadian rhythm…
Our immune system also goes to
work during sleep where it recharges
itself by making powerful antibodies
and fighting infection while you are
in state of deep sleep.
Tiredness and fatigue are
associated with many health
conditions, here is where Dr Google
comes along and offers a gazillion
links to various causes, diseases,
remedies and other yada yada.. A
good source of information if not for
something else that can lead to other
problems and that is, discovery of a
disease that you don’t have but will
now worry about and you wont get
to sleep because you have developed
a type of paranoia.. dear me, it just
seems to get worse doesn’t it.?
