Why am I tired all the time?

Why am I tired all the time: We all feel tired from time to time. The causes are usually clear and include extended hours spent at work or having a baby that holds you up all night. But long-time tiredness is not regular. It can impact your ability to get on and value your life. Unexplained tiredness is one of the most standard reasons for people to visit their doctor.

Why am I tired all the time:

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

• Handling work and family can be tiring
• a breakup may make you feel tired
• a poor and unhealthful lifestyle can also be a reason

Stress

The pressures of daily life can make us stressed most of the time. It is also worth remembering that even positive events, such as switching houses or getting married, can cause tension. The tension eventually makes us feel tired.

Depression

If you feel down, low, and lacking in energy, you also wake up exhausted which means you are depressed, and in most cases, a person suffering from depression always feels tired. Get yourself checked with the doctor without any delay, if you are depressed.

Alcohol

Drinking greatly disturbs the quality of your sleep which ultimately make you feel exhausted. Stick to the system of no more than 8 units a week for both men and women.

Exercise 

Too much or too little exercise can also impact how you feel. So, consider what amount of exercise is sufficient for you not to make you feel tired.

Diabetes

Physicians also are not precise about why diabetes makes people so tired. One of the causes is that your body uses a lot of energy to bear regular changes in blood sugar levels. 

Caffeine

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

Emotional scare

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

Night shifts

Night working hours often feel exhausted more efficiently. This is more likely to happen if the timing of the shifts keeps on changing.

Daytime naps

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

Anxiety

If you have undisturbed uncontrollable feelings of anxiety, then there are more increased chances that you may have a generalized anxiety disorder. Along with this, people also feel anxious and irritable, and people with generalized anxiety disorder usually feel tired. 

Tiredness can also be the result of:

• pregnancy 
• being overweight or underweight (frequent changes in weight)
• poor muscles strength
• cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy
• side effects of medicines 

If you have been feeling continually exhausted for more than 4 weeks, it is a good idea to see your doctor so that they can verify your medical condition that could be making you feel exhausted.
