Weekly Mental Health Q&A


March 6, 2006

“Lately, I feel tired all the time. I fall asleep in my classes, and then I fall asleep when I’m trying to do homework at night. I feel physically exhausted, too, and don’t go out in the evenings anymore. I have no idea why I’m so tired—I haven’t made any major lifestyle changes, and my sleep schedule has always been pretty typical. Could someone at SCRS help me figure out what factors in my life may be contributing to my exhaustion?”

WHAT SCRS CAN DO:

  • Help you figure out what environmental, medical, or psychological issues may be contributing to your exhaustion
  • Refer you to someone at SCC ( Student Care Center ) for a medical consult, if necessary
