Why You’re Always Tired

Hello Ziddis! We all experience one of those days when everything feels like a task, and you are just tired. But what if these days happen often? Is that still healthy or normal? Many people experience constant fatigue even though they are trying to maintain a good lifestyle or do sedentary work all day. The truth is, being tired is not just about lack of sleep, but a mix of lifestyle choices you make, like your food and nutrition, habits and recreation, as well as your workouts and work.

This one is for all of those!

Constantly Feeling Tired

Read this list and check which ones feel like something you experience often

• Waking up tired
• Feeling sleepy all the time
• Feeling sluggish
• Experiencing brain fog at work
• Not having enough energy to work out anymore
• Losing interest in most of the activities
• Keep tossing and turning in the bed

If most of these made you stop and think, “Oh, this is so me!” it’s time you take it seriously and understand the root cause of it.

All of these symptoms are signs your body is giving you. These signs mean that your body is:

• Tired
• Not getting enough or quality sleep
• Going through mental or emotional stress
• Have any nutrient deficiency, like low iron or lack of Vitamin B12 or Vitamin D.
• Is dehydrated
• Over-exerted physically

Fatigue During Working Out

When you work out, you are expected to feel strong and refreshed, not wiped out and hazy for the rest of the day. If you experience fatigue during working out, it could be a sign that:

• You are overtraining
• You are not prioritising rest and recovery
• You might be skipping meals before or after hitting the gym
• You might have an underlying condition like thyroid, anaemia, or blood sugar issues.

These issues can make you feel tired quickly.
