as sleepy as iron

Having to deal with being a female is enough, don't you think? Well, my body seems to think otherwise. I am really anemic and most of the time I can deal with it by what I eat and do. However there are numerous times when it gets to the point where I must take iron supplements in order to be able to function without the groggy and exhausted feeling dangling over my head every waking moment. It also doesn't help that I struggle almost daily, with trying to fall asleep at night.

I think that my body is out to kill me in one way or another.

Oh how I wish I had a better and more appeasing body.
