I am a 28 year old female and this sounds exactly like how I've been feeling. I can sleep alot or a little and I'm still extremely tired every day. I also get headaches and heart palpiltations frequently. I have a doctor's appt. for this coming Monday, August 4th so I'll let you know what I find out. Maybe it can help you. I know exactly how you feel so anything I can do to help.

Try talking to your doctor. I was experiencing extreme tiredness and believed I had mono. I went in and was sent to see a sleep specialist. Turned out I have narcolepsy. I can sleep 19 hours a day if I'm not on medication to stay awake. Doctors will prescribe medication such as Ritalin (I know that it's usually used for ADD or ADHD, but on a tired person it works better then caffeine because it's a stimulant.) Whether that's your issue or not- sleep is important! There are many sleep disorders out there. Search "sleep disorders" on the web. Knowing whats wrong helps.
What I can say for sure is...
*keep a regular sleep schedule. Get up and go to sleep at a regular time- it makes a difference, even though it sounds like a drag.
*Exercise is good- to much sleep can slow down your metabolism, so keep up the exercise.
*Don't take long naps. Keep them around 20 minutes. Sleeping much longer then that can lead to grogginess (it has to do with the sleep cycle).
*Try not to rely too heavily on caffeine- the crash is worse later if you are already exhausted!
If you sleep issues are interfering with your daily activities see a specialist. (And PLEASE don't drive when you're too tired!)
