- Fatigue is a phenomenon that everyone knows. It makes you become less alert and responsive to things around you.
- Nearly everyone is overtired or overworked from time to time. Such instances of temporary fatigue usually have an identifiable cause and a likely remedy, such as a good night’s sleep.
- Constant exhaustion, on the other hand, lasts longer, is more profound and isn’t relieved by rest. It’s a nearly constant state of weariness that develops over time and reduces your energy, motivation and concentration.
- Fatigue at this level impacts your emotional and psychological well-being, too.
- Most of the time fatigue can be traced to one or more of your habits or routines.
- Taking an honest inventory of things that might be responsible for your fatigue is often the first step toward relief.
- Fatigue may be related to:
- Use of alcohol or drugs
- Excess or lack of physical activity
- Lack of good sleep
- Medications, and some over-the-counter medicines
- Unhealthy eating habits
