A member asked:

I quit smoking two months ago, now i feel more tired then usual.is this normal? i have been exercising and watching intake also. could this be a factor

Unlikely but : Nicotine acts as a stimulator type drug which you no longer are using. It may take more time to develop your routines as well as possibly better sleep habits which you did not mention. Also any degree of feeling depressed may present this way. See your doctor and discuss your concerns.
