Why am I always tired.

Why am I always tired: We all feel fatigued from time to time. The reasons are usually clear and include long hours spent at work or having a baby that keeps you up all night. But fatigue that goes on for a long time is not regular. It can affect your capability to get on and appreciate your life. Unexplained fatigue is one of the most familiar reasons for people to visit their doctor.

Why am I always tired:

Before you see your doctor, you may want to know what is causing tiredness in the first place. The following points can be helpful to think about:

• Work and family can be particularly tiring
• a breakup can make you feel tired
• a poor and unhealthy lifestyle can also be a reason

Stress

The stresses of daily life can make us worried most of the time. It is also worth recognizing that even positive events, such as changing house or getting married, can cause stress. Stress eventually makes us feel tired.

Depression

If you feel unhappy, low, and lacking in energy, you also wake up tired which means you are depressed, and in most cases, a person suffering from depression always feels tired.

Alcohol

Drinking largely interrupts the quality of your sleep which eventually make you feel tired. Stick to the approach of no more than 10 units a week for both men and women.

Exercise 

Too much or too little exercise can also affect how you feel. So, evaluate what amount of exercise is enough for you not to make you feel tired.

Diabetes

Doctors also are not clear about why diabetes makes people so tired. One of the reasons is that your body uses a lot of energy to handle frequent changes in blood sugar levels. 

Caffeine

Too much found in tea, coffee, colas, and energy drinks can disturb your sleep and make you feel tired. Try decaffeinated coffee or tea, or gradually cut out caffeine completely.

Emotional shock

You might have noticed that when you are happy you feel energetic and the opposite happens when you are low. Hence, grief, redundancy, or a break-up can make anyone feel tired. 

Night shifts

Night working hours often feel fatigue more easily. This is more likely to happen if the timing of the shifts keeps on rotating.

Daytime naps

If you’re tired, you may sleep during the day, which may make it more challenging to get a good night’s sleep and it will make you wake up tired. 

Anxiety

If you have steady unmanageable feelings of anxiety, then there are higher chances that you may have a generalized anxiety disorder. Along with this, people also feel worried and irritable, people with generalized anxiety disorder usually feel tired. 

Iron deficiency 

• Underactive thyroid or Hypothyroidism
• Sleep apnea

Fatigue can also be the result of:

• pregnancy 
• being overweight or underweight 
• poor muscles strength
• cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy
• side effects of medications 

If you have been feeling constantly fatigue for more than 4 weeks, it’s a good thought to see your doctor so that they can confirm your medical condition that could be making you feel tired.
