Why am I so tired all the time?

Why is my girlfriend so tired all the time?

• My girlfriend used to be perky and loud, but now she's always tired and falling asleep all the time. Everytime I ask her if she wants to go out or something, she says she's too tired and wants to sleep. I know nothing stressful was going on, no tests in school, no nothing(She just turned 17 and I turn 17 in a week). She sometimes falls asleep in class and sometimes on my back if she's on my back while walking home. I asked her if anything was wrong and she just said she was tired. I'm kind of scared to ask her if she has nightmares because she gets offended because she said that when she gets scared it makes her look "weak" (I don't know why, getting scared is natural). I think it may be nightmares and it may affect her sleep schedule (it can easily go off track). Is this why? Or could it be something else? Please help! I'm really starting to get worried!

• Answer:

  That could very well be it but, I would take this Ina health aspect. Bring it up to her parents if you really care her family doctor can help best here. She may be taking drugs or medication or allergies that are throwing off her energy levels. I'm hoping it's not due to a bad disease like diabetes or any of the others. Make the contact if you really care they can help her.
