  • Why Am I More Tired When I Finally Rest?

    Today I woke up and realized that my under-eyes are starting to turn purple and sink in a little. The weird part? I’ve been sleeping more than I have in the last three years, yet somehow I look more tired. I feel more tired, and my body hurts more. I swear this happens every time.…
