Why Am I So Tired?

Why in the world am I so tired lately? I may be the only human being on earth that gets 8 hours of sleep a night and that simply doesn't seem to be enough. It use to be. I use to be able to live on 4 hours of sleep a night....arise fully alert and ready to take on the world. Now, I lie there in bed, stare at the ceiling, listen to the morning news on TV and think of ways to get out of going to work so I can stay in bed a little while longer.

Eventually, I manage to put both feet on the floor and drag my sorry body into a vertical position but it seems this is getting more difficult to do each day.

At what age does it become acceptable to just stay in bed and not get up? Oh, don't think I could actually do it. I mean, we all have to go to the bathroom, drink some diet dew, take a shower and eat. For those things, I will gladly get out of bed; but, for work....well that seems to be a challenge right now.
