Fatigued Quotes

“In this vagueness,
might a novel
of fatigued evenings returning to nights, following
unsuccessful all-day search for life
be written.”
― Suman Pokhrel

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“An obese ego is just about the heaviest thing you’ll ever carry. So maybe you should stop feeding it.”

“As soon as [Patricia Highsmith] had stopped work, she felt purposeless and quite at a loss about what to do with herself. 'There is no real life except in working,' she wrote in her notebook, 'that is to say in the imagination.' It was in this state that she observed that only one situation would drive her to commit murder - being part of a family unit. Most likely, she thought, she would strike out in anger at a small child, felling them in one blow. But children over the age of eight, she surmised, would probably take two blows to kill. The reality of socialising with anyone, no matter how close, she said, left her feeling fatigued.”

“There were times I was so fatigued and confused at the end of my extreme night shifts that I could not shut down the facility. I would have to wait for the day staff to show up and let them take over the task.”
― Steven Magee, Night Shift Recovery

“The Mauna Kea night shift was an 18 hour night in wintertime at the 13,796 feet summit (before sunset to after sunrise) with insufficient time for adequate sleep before the next night shift. Night shift was between 5 and 8 nights long and we slept at 9,200 feet. We sat at a desk staring at four large computer monitors and a large cathode ray tube television. I would also use my Wi-Fi laptop computer. I would have extreme fatigue by the end of every night shift and have chapped lips which I now associate with exposure to the artificial light from the computer screens. A good day of sleep between shifts was rare and starting the next shift fatigued was normal.”

“While the doctor promised me I would feel better once on CPAP, the opposite happened. I was more fatigued than ever and I was now falling asleep while driving! I was sent on more sleep studies and given more diagnosis of sleep disorders.”

“Something I had been curious about was the use of prescription drugs while on CPAP. Since I had a wide range of prescriptions, I decided I would take them all before I went to bed to see what happened. The nighttime low oxygen events went much higher! I was seeing over five minutes of low oxygen with much lower oxygen excursions. This matched what I saw when I was initially placed onto CPAP in February 2016. As 2016 went on, I started to get increasingly fatigued as I was placed onto more prescription drugs. I eventually started falling asleep in my car while driving!”

“Traveling around the island had revealed I was being affected by altitude changes. I had noticed on days out from the campsite that I would be fatigued the following day. Altitude testing showed this fatigue reaction would occur whenever I spent time above one thousand feet. The longer I was above one thousand feet, the more fatigued I would be the next day and it would often increase forgetfulness and confusion. Once I started avoiding traveling past several hundred feet in altitude, I was much healthier! I call this sickness “Altitude Hypersensitivity”, as it was previously thought that altitude sickness only occurred above 4,900 feet.”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease

“I was noticing during living in Hawaii that I would become chronically fatigued and sleepy after eating. It was strange, as it did not happen at every meal. I would eat at the same restaurants and sometimes I would be sickly after eating and other times I would feel fine. I knew I had past food intolerance to gluten, fructose and lactose and was avoiding them. But even with this avoidance, some meals would make me sickly! It was a mystery I could not understand, no matter how much I tried. The only clue I had was it seemed to occur only when I ate large meals. I could eat small meals fine anywhere, but large meals were an occasional issue.”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease

“She was so tired. Exhausted, inside and out, from her head to her soul. But she had spent too much time sleeping as it was; it was time for her to wake up, to reclaim her life, whatever that would look like now.”
― Sara Raasch, A Sword In Slumber
