I always feel like this. I think I need to make some changes to my diet or something, but I don't know where to start. Maybe I should try one of those cleanses where you cut out a whole bunch of different problematic foods.

I'm usually fine on a workday when I can just spend all day sitting at my desk, but on weekends when we're on the go, I'm just exhausted by lunch time. Like you, I'm getting a good amount of sleep, so this is really starting to get to me.

@regberadaisy: Do you take a multivitamin or a supplement with iron? Or get enough iron in your diet? I know low iron can make you tired...

Some days I'm just plain ol' tired, but it's not a regular enough occurrence that it worries me. Are you tired often or just once in a while?

Maybe it's time for a physical with some routine blood work?

ETA: Do you exercise or stay active? Sometimes lack of activity can actually make you more sluggish...

I have the same problem. LO has been sttn since 6.5 months give or take a few days here and there. I get a good 7-8 hrs of sleep a night and I am just SO tired during the day and sleepy. I've always wondered if I'm still making up for the sleep deficit from the newborn days. Sucks.

@regberadaisy: i can't think of any other explanation. my mom, however, thinks its because i'm breastfeeding. which maybe also makes sense...it burns 500 calories a day, which is like running 5 miles every single day for me. i know if i were running 5 miles every single day, i'd be really tired probably....or maybe i would be more energized. hmm. nevermind.
