I work 5 days a week for 40 hours. I still get 2 days off a week. I do have a manual labor job where i do lift heavy stuff from time to time and i am on my feet 7 1/2 hours a day with a 30-minute break. But i have been getting so tired lately and right after work i usually eat dinner then go lay in bed. Today i had a day off and i slept 10 hours! is this normal? im barely 28 years old.
Dude, don't even worry about it, being tired all the time is totally normal for us at this age. A few things that might be going on:
- Manual labor is no joke, man. Even if you're not waking up sore, all that lifting and being on your feet all day wears you out over time.
- 40 hours a week at a job is a grind, let alone one that's physically demanding. No wonder you wanna crash as soon as you get home.
- You're probably stressed and not getting enough relaxation time even on your days off. So your body just wants to shut down.
- Make sure you're eating healthy and hydrating at work. It's easy to get run down if you're not fueling up right during the day.
- Could be seasonal too - this time of year is gloomy and makes everyone want extra naps. Vitamin D might help boost energy.
I'd say as long as you don't feel depressed or have other weird symptoms, a little extra sleep is your body's way of recharging. Maybe also try fitting in a short afternoon nap sometimes. You'll be alright dude, don't stress - we're all tired these days! Just listen to your body.

Manual labor is hard. Usually when i spend the weekend doing manual labor around my house i am looking forward to going back to my job so I can get some rest. i would not worry about it but maybe you should think about your future.
Your job sounds tiring honestly. But you're perfectly normal. Any person doing manual labor five days a week would feel the same. Rest as much as possible whenever you have the chance and listen to your body.
You could have a magniesium deficiency. Lack of mag can cause all sorts of issues, especially fatigue.
