Frequently, problems with thyroid and fatigue leave people feeling tired all day with difficulty sleeping at night. Their fatigue is often better when their temperatures are higher (perhaps in the late morning) and worse when their temperatures are lower (perhaps in the late afternoon).requently, problems with thyroid and fatigue leave people feeling tired all day with difficulty sleeping at night.

Most modern adults breathe much faster (about 15-20 breaths per minute) than their normal breathing frequency. The respiratory rates in the sick persons are usually higher, generally about 20 breaths/min or more.
Angelou's gentle sentiment aside, and accepting the risk of being a touch nerdy, we can measure life by the number of breaths we take. On average, a person at rest takes about 16 breaths per minute. This means we breathe about 960 breaths an hour, 23,040 breaths a day, 8,409,600 a year. Unless we get a lot of exercise. The person who lives to 80 will take about 672,768,000 breaths in a lifetime. (This is based on a person's average respiration rate at rest. It does not take into account the increase in respiratory rate during exercise, or the fact that young children take about 44 breaths per minute.)
