FATIGUE! Falling asleep early

[its1111]

For the past week or two, I have been getting so tired around 7:30-8pm...to the point I fall asleep on the sofa every night. This is SO unlike me...I usually stay up until 10:30-11 with no problem and have a very structured sleep schedule.
It’s starting to worry me because I am just so fatigued every night...what could cause this? I’m worried I have some horrible underlying illness or something!

Anxiety and stress causes this.

I haven’t been more stressed or anxious than normal, though. Just very random.

Ok let me re-word it. Stress and anxiety eventually cause this.

It's exceptionally common.

I have been dealing with this as well. I normally get go off very little sleep and don’t get tired unless I’m up for over 24 hours. I have been this way since I had my last child 5 years ago but lately I’m tired all the time and catch myself falling asleep several times a day. It’s weird but I’m not overly concerned.

Try to go with the flow, if possible whenever your tired try and get in a nap. Maybe it so help
or just go to bed early when your body says it time and see how things go from there.
