Fatigue, needing sleep, being tired

I drag my butt out of bed these days as opposed to jumping out of bed. It is harder and harder to get up in the morning. I have never been a fan of snooze alarms but my husband introduced them into my life when we got married. Apparently now I need a snooze alarm. As I slept through the first four alarms this morning.There is a difference between fatigue, needing sleep and being tired. To me the differences are:Being tired means you need to rest to recover from exertionFatigue means chronically being tiredNeeding sleep means needing sleepI blame it on fibromyalgia predominantly. It causes fatigue. I get sleep and then I am too fatigued to get out of bed. I get tired also - after going for a walk or to the gym. Sometimes I am too tired to finish my workout. Sometimes I am too fatigued to cook dinner.I plan my life carefully to avoid being too tired in mid-day and needing a nap. Hmmm... I think I have another topic of discussion for my upcoming physical.
