I think I'm still exhausted from the weekend. I'm just tired and aching. I get so sleepy early in the evening. I get up at 5:00 but start falling asleep at night as soon as I sit down at 7:00 or 8:00. I'm not sure how to combat this. I have to get up early to get my exercise in while I have time to myself. I can't go t
