I think that there are some excellent replies in this thread. It is my belief that we are starting to see the cumulative effects of people's massive addiction to their cellular telephones, WiFi, and other cordless gizmos, HD TVs and general electronic overload - they are frying their nerves with microwaves. I know some here on ATS disagree, but there is SO much information out there (not much in the mainstream yet, which anyone here should appreciate - that it can't be denied. No, I don't use any of those devices.

And yes, the poor food, driving cars everywhere, hours spent indoors, and not just inside, but nearly all warehouses/factories/stores/supermarkets/malls/offices have been made into very unhealthy devices - wireless sh*t, fluorescent lighting, mind numbing Muzak, artificial fragrances (people bathing in perfume and toxic fabric softener and trying to "freshen" the air by polluting it with Febreeze, LOL), new carpeting and other things which haven't outgassed yet...

A bombardment of idiocy by the media - I don't own a television. The odd time I watch one at someone's house, I'm appalled by what I see - it makes me feel like throwing the remote through the screen.

A poor diet, filled with additives and hardly balanced by alkaline forming fruits and vegetables.

Aimless youth with lofty goals learned from celebrity lifestyle portrayals.

Fed up adults who realize that they hate what they're doing for fourty or fifty or sixty hours a week.

I could go on.

Sometimes I feel a great energy. I have been very tired, too. When I observe people in the suburbs, they generally seem stoned or wear expressions that are the very essence of what mundane is. If they're energetic, they generally seem like blithering fools, or are riding on the vital current of youth, which itself gets perverted by the aforementioned factors if one doesn't take care.

So? Take care, keep awake, and keep awakening others, even if you're
tired !

When you say all you want to do is play music- does it seem like more than ever? I ask this because I am a musician as well, actually I just started playing again after a 10 year "music coma" and it is almost like a constant thirst to play again. Maybe its because of the break I took- I almost hated it when I stopped, but it seems to be more than that. Along with being extremely tired, asking myself could I be depressed, changing my diet, nothing helps. I do not have any motivation to do the simplest things. just make music, almost in a trance, and i cannot finish anything i start. I wonder if any other tired musicians feel this need to play as well. its almost like the only peace in a day anymore. I hope it works out with your music. could the reason everyone you jam with flakes on you be because you are not meant to jam with the people that come around. Maybe you crossed paths just to inspire, maybe your not meant to be in the circuit your in musically. just a suggestion. sometimes people must teach. the gift of music is much more to some than others. its saved me. n.e. ways, didn't mean to get off the point of being tired. everyone around me is tired as well. all except my 3 year old son. he tells me things sometimes its like he already knows whats wrong, what is coming. sometimes i feel like he is parenting me. maybe its normal.
ps just for the record- i have no problem entering the security word below, however its not a word i like too much. makes me wonder actually.

yes, I have had all the energy in the world for years but in the past few months I have gotten more and more tired. What is even stranger than that is I have heard the same things from everyone around me saying they are tired. I live in Gadsden, Alabama. USA So check us off on the tired map here too.

Additionally, a factor worth mentioning, is that "I'm tired" is a very trendy excuse teenagers use, often with no valid reason, to justify stupid and thoughtless behavior. Mix that in with the mind's power to induce effects it convinces itself of, and you could be looking at a generation of teenagers accidentally making themselves more tired by thinking it because they have no other way of justifying their immature behavior.

It's very easy to criticize teens and some of their behavior, often fashionable, but understanding the science behind it is another. Maybe if schools would let them sleep they wouldn't be so tired and obese. I think high school drains people to the point that they lose their ambition for future education. I know many of my friends who had high GPAs, high class rank (higher than me at least) and they didn't go to college. "Immature" behavior has been, and always will be a part of growing up for teens. Unless you can put them in a coma until their brains are fully developed...

I find a couple things help personally. Eating fresh, organic food. A lot of people I hear say they eat healthy but I have my doubts. If you were really determined, you could record all they different foods you eat and the amount over a period of time and see how you could improve your diet. Start the day with a blend of 3-4 different veggies. You'd be surprised what brocolli can do for you at breakfast. Try eliminating different foods and see how it affects your body and how you feel. Try staying away from wheat and diary, for example. Eating less also increases energy and provides more restful sleep. Stay away from artificial sweeteners and MSG.

Keeping up on your fitness, not a surprise there. Running can be fun once you get in shape, or yoga can be less straining and more energizing. Yoga also makes moving easier as your range of motion improves. Getting enough sunlight is important. Sunlight (vitamin D) lowers the risk for different kinds of cancer. Sunlight also boosts endorphins which will make you feel more happy and energetic (yoga and running also increase this).

Not sure if this is a big deal, but limit your exposure to EMF as much as possible, also when sleeping. I've heard bad things about Wi-Fi and cellphone radiation. Even cordless house phones can have similar effects.

Another thing that could explain a wide spread cause could be the sun. I'm probably wrong but for the sunspot cycle to peak around 2011/2012, it sure seems late. Have hardly been any sunspots this cycle.

That, I think, hit it dead on for my close friends and I. Its motivational and mental. We seem to have lost interest in hobbies that have been our relaxation for years. No one shows up or only a few show up for things that had almost full attendence two years ago. When called to ask if anything is wrong, they just say, to a person, that they just don't have the energy to bother or completely lost interest. This thread is kinda scary. Makes one wonder just how far down the average person can sink with out damage to them permanently??

Good thread neformore.
I personally believe there are three things that cause this phenomenon. Perhaps we're reaching the tipping point of these three:

1. Changes in climate/weather and people are having problem adapting to them.
2. Environmental pollution and high toxicity level in the body.
3. Increase infection from more evolved pathogen.

If I'm right, the entire world is in deep trouble.
