Why do I feel so tired all the time, even when I get enough sleep?
This might be a sign of mental exhaustion rather than physical fatigue.
We go in and out of many sleep cycles and one of the cycles that is most important for our mental health is Rapid Eye Movement (REM sleep). During REM sleep we dream and process events of the day either exactly as the events happened or metaphorically.
Think of a time when someone has upset or annoyed you, and your partner or friend tells you to forget about it but you just can’t. You go to sleep and during the night REM sleep strips the emotion out of your memories and stores them as narrative memories that you can control.
When you wake up you still remember the event but don’t feel as upset or angry. You just think “why did I let that get to me?”
REM sleep is a great process however the problem is that it is very energy intensive and only accounts for 20% of our sleep patterns.
If you are stressed or have a lot of events to process then your REM sleep will quickly become exhausted.
This is what happens when we wake up in the early hours and feel wide awake, unhappy and can struggle to get back to sleep. Even if we can get back to sleep it will not be restful and we still feel tired the next day.
