I'm so tired!!
I hear this so much, yes in my own home! It does not necessarily mean its a medical issue. From my own experience I have learned that!
Fatigue is also known as tiredness, reduced energy, physical or mental exhaustion, or lack of motivation.
Causes of fatigue can be psychological, physiological, and physical.
To diagnose the reasons for fatigue, a doctor will ask questions and take a sleep history, and may perform a physical examination and blood and urine tests.
Treatment is focused on the underlying cause of tiredness.
Fatigue is a common experience - all humans become tired. However, this is not usually due to disease. There are numerous medical and non-medical causes of fatigue, including personal dietary and lifestyle habits.
The following factors can contribute to fatigue, either alone or in combination:
Psychological and psychosocial - stress, anxiety, and depression.
Physical - anemia, diabetes, glandular fever, and cancer.
Physiological - pregnancy, breast-feeding, inadequate sleep, and excessive exercise.
Some types of fatigue are not normally considered a medical problem, this includes tiredness as a result of:
physical activity
emotional stress
boredom
lack of sleep
staying up too late
having too much caffeine
drinking too much alcohol
eating junk food---you knew diet was going to play a part!
While there be medical reason for your sleep issues-I'm not a Dr. but there are things you can try if you don't think you need a Dr care-yet..
Improving sleep habits and ensuring adequate sleep. Create a bedtime routine and stay with it. Our kids had one and it helped tremendously. I have one also. Tubby, reading, a little TV....lights out sleep.
Exercising regularly and balancing rest and activity. If you are not tired, have you had enough activity to be tired?
Cutting out caffeine and drinking plenty of water.
Eating a healthy diet. I can't believe how diet plays into EVERYTHING!! Your body KNOWS!!
Setting realistic expectations for workload and schedule.
Taking time to relax, perhaps trying meditation or yoga.
Identifying and dealing with stressors by, for example, taking time off work or resolving relationship problems.
Avoiding the use of alcohol, nicotine, and illegal drugs. These are stimulants and mess with sleep patterns.
Some supplements may help.
