Answer 4

Not eating as much as you are used to usually makes you very tired. Especially if you are cutting your meals in half. Make sure you are getting around 1200 calories minimum, especially if you are working out. I would not worry too much about it though, it sounds like low blood sugar. If it continues for more than a month you might want to go see your doctor so he can take your blood sugar to rule out other things and to prescribe a diet for you that will regulate your blood sugar. If this is what's causing it, you might want to add high fiber foods and high protein snacks which might help now.

Answer 5

Too much sleep is almost as bad as not enough sleep and makes you feel very weak and very tired.  12-13 hours is far too much.  If you cut that back to 10 hours it might help.  Even 10 hours is too much for most people.

Under eating makes you feel very weak and very tired and also weakens your immune system.  Feeling a bit shaky or wobbly on the legs can also be caused by under eating.

Under eating can also stunt your growth and at 14 you will probably grow for one more year as girls usually stop growing at 15.
