Doctor reacts to always feeling tired! #shorts

[dgarcia]

I can't even tell you when I last felt energized.

[Heythere-bomx]

Not gonna lie, the beginning of this kinda sounded like a USA drug ad…

[AfraidMonsters]

Yes.
I believe I have chronic fatigue, because I literally do nothing all day and am too tired to do anything. And I wake up tired after hours of sleep

[Naranylla]

I'm SO GLAD people are starting to talk about this condition. I have hypersomnia and chronic fatigue. These conditions are hell without medication for me. When the Adderall shortage was at its worst, I was disappointed to see nobody acknowledging that many with hypersomnia, CFS, POTS, and/or narcolepsy really need the medication more than anyone else. Without stimulants, many of us can't drive, work, or live a fulfilling, happy life. I've spent many years being gaslit by my mother and teachers, telling me that I just "need to eat better, " "get more sleep" or "get more exercise." I was lucky enough when my doctors took me seriously, but that isn't the case for everyone. Turns out being tired or fatigued all of the time isn't usually one's fault. I wish more people were aware that such symptoms are often out of someone's control, sometimes almost entirely, and aren't "excuses."

I totally have this. No one believes me and thinks I'm just lazy. I can push through my day but I'm constantly exhausted.

The only time I feel productive is after 7 pm. I feel most clear headed at around 11 pm.

I had hypersomnia related to depression and anxiety. I slept for most of the day and at night. After beginning treatment I started sleeping more regular hours, although still more than the average person. I also started waking up frequently in the night, which is a more common depression sleep symptom.

For me, hypersomnia is usually caused by a depressive episode. Apparently, this is decently common. So neurological/psychological disorders can also cause it!

[ShowerOnceYearly]

You left out the part where you tell us how to fix it

[damien]

The problem is that I feel much better when I only sleep for 3 hours, less than 5 hours. Also skipping sleep entirely gives me a sudden boost for a few hours but then it crashes at afternoon.

Doc is going through a glow up and I'm here for it

[TwDots]

Holy sht, I said yes to A LOT. I’m always tired like that and it never felt right to say “insomnia” . My symptoms match Hypersomnia so much more, regardless of how rare it is. I forget things even after it just happening, I’m snappy & irritable too

[photocan]

Hi! Psychology student here 😊. Hypersomnia can also be caused by mood disorders such as depression and general anxiety. From An M.D.'s point of view, Dr Karan is absolutely on point 😊

[bighorseck]

Can we just apraicate how much nice the doc like he literly work for like 12 or more hours everyday and yet he still posts vidoes right after he wakes up and whenever he gets a chance

[meh_]

fun fact: you can feel a similar way if you have hypermobility (being double jointed) which is super common. being double jointed means that your muscles have to work harder, thus your body works harder to just exist!

[LT-uuus]

If only every doctor was as passionate about treating people like you are! We’d be a far healthier nation and have much more trust in those that treat us❤

[WomanNextDoor]

Additionally, hypersomnia could be related to other conditions such as autoimmune diseases like lupus or conditions such as fibromyalgia.
I can sleep for 16hrs and feel anything but rested and refreshed.

[LVIS-a]

Yes and that's why I started working at night.
People around me all asked: "Are you sure? That's very bad for your health"
Never felt better 🤣👌
Just make sure you get enough vitamines associated with daytime

[ShenDoodles]

Doc, you’re the gift that keeps on giving. I feel alright for a few hours, then I’m exhausted again.

[nightowl]

Why is nobody talking about how beautiful this man looks even without the beard!
