How many times a week do you say, "I'm so tired"?

Here are some signs that you're might be exhausted. If you say "yes" to one or more of these, keep reading!

• Do you get sick often - like sinus infections or headaches?
• Is your mind so cluttered that you can't concentrate?
• Do you feeling like your floating around aimlessly or that your life doesn't have true purpose or calling?
• Do you feel too drained to be around people or you often feel people are judging you?

Believe it or not, but these are the warning signs of rest deprivation. Too often, we think about rest as just getting a good night's sleep or watching hours of tv.
