Understanding Adult Fatigue
– Many adults experience fatigue due to various factors such as lack of sleep, stress, or health issues.
– It is essential to pay attention to your body’s signals and address any underlying causes of tiredness.
– Seeking help from a healthcare provider can provide insight into managing your energy levels efficiently.
Tips for Managing Adult Fatigue
1. Prioritize quality sleep by establishing a regular bedtime routine.
2. Incorporate exercise into your daily routine to boost energy levels.
3. Manage stress through relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing exercises.
4. Ensure a balanced diet rich in nutrients to support overall health and well-being.
By taking proactive steps to address your fatigue, you can improve your quality of life and overall well-being as an adult. Stay curious and seek solutions to enhance your energy levels and vitality.
Cut as much sugar out of your diet as you can, all of it if possible.
Minimize Caffeine intake.
Stop eating fast food.
Don’t use your cell phone or watch TV for at least an hour before going to bed.
Those four things will vastly improve your energy. Up until fairly recently I was drinking 6-8 cans of soda a day, basically lived on caffeine and fast food, was always on my phone late at night. I always felt tired, fatigued, never felt like I slept well at all, could barely make it through the day and relied entirely on the caffeine and sugar to do so.
Went to the doctor because of the fatigue and headaches and trouble sleeping, they did a full bloodwork and physical, recommended all of the above, and within two weeks I felt 100% better, and it’s been getting better every day since. Also lost 10 pounds within the first week of cutting sugar and fried food out of my diet.
I’m always tired. All day every day since as long as I can remember. As soon as my head hits my pillow I’m wide awake though. So being single I just sleep on the couch most nights. I can pass out on the couch but once I’m in bed I start thinking and my muscles want to move and I go crazy. Its not because I have a crappy bed either because this happens when I’m staying with family or a hotel or anywhere unless I’m absolutely dead tired from work.
Yes. Modern business will bleed its workers as long as they can get away with it.
Nope.
Mine was caused by moderate sleep apnea. Got diagnosed, started treatment and it was like I had the energy I did a decade ago.
Also helped with some brain fog I had.
Do you feel tired after lunch? For me, carbs at lunch are a killer. If I can skip lunch entirely, or eat a low carb meal, I’m fine.
A lot of fatigue comes from lack of mental stimulation. When I’m into something – a hobby, a particular part of my job etc, I feel much more engaged and awake. I think too many of us live life with the noggin turned off just to get through the day.
See if you have a vitamin D or iron deficiency.
You should do a sleep study. You might have apnea.
Yes
I’m tired all day every day, every week of every month of every year…..
80% of cases of chronic fatigue syndrome go undiagnosed according to the CDC
I do not know you, of course, but I’ll make some suggestions that helped my energy levels immensely. I turn 41 in July for context. You can use whatever may work in your situation, or disregard it entirely.
When I turned 39, I went for my annual checkup, and the doctor noted my vitamin D levels were low, so he put me on a vitamin D supplement to get my levels up. After that, I was to take a regular vitamin D supplement (he gave me a heavy dosed pill to get me caught up). I decided, instead, to take a multivitamin, which included vitamin D. My energy levels rose considerably.
Second thing I did as I got older is stopped eating so much junk. Do not mistake me that I eat perfectly – I am eating Hershey kisses straight out of the bag as I type this. I stopped eating out all the time, though. I make Huel twice a day, and then have a cooked meal for dinner. (Huel is a meal in a shake – I do it for convenience, though it is quite nutritious, so I don’t have to think as hard about balancing my diet).
Lastly, I stopped going to bed late. One day of eight hours of sleep will not fix things, but consistently going to bed at a certain time, and waking at a certain time, with that gap between sleep and wake being 7+ hours will give you more energy than an inconsistent sleep schedule that your body constantly has to adapt to.
Side note: I also have a latte every day. I nurse it so as to avoid the caffeine crash in the afternoon. I bought a cheap espresso machine for home so I don’t have to pay Starbucks prices to do this.
All of this helps keep me awake from 5:30am until 9:30pm. I do occasionally struggle in the afternoon, but it is my own doing (mostly eating poorly for a couple of days in a row will do me in). Some things to try, anyway.
Do you have sleep apnea? Or something else that can affect sleep. I’d talk to your doctor if it’s affecting your life. It could be something as simple as a lack of iron.
long covid does this people. So does age.
I personally find I have more energy if I workout everyday. I go even when I’m tired and usually have more energy afterwards.
Just the half that you’re awake
No.
If it helps anyone: washing my face halfway through the day changed my life. Someone mentioned their gran called it a “second morning”
In all likelyhood, this is a sleep related issue. Even if you think you’re sleeping peacefully for the whole night, you might not be.
How late into the day do you drink caffeine? Caffeine interferes with sleep, and it has a half life of 5 hours. Assuming you stop drinking caffeine at 4pm, but have 500mg in your body, there’s still 250mg in your system at 9pm, and 125mg at 2am. I’ve noticed that I have much more energy when I don’t drink any caffeine after 2pm.
Another possibility is sleep apnea. A lot of people go from being a zombie to feeling 18 again when they get a CPAP machine.
That’s adulting for you. It sucks. Don’t recommend.
Hows the snoring? Maybe you got some sleep apnea?
Get a workout routine!
seep apnea?2 notenough seratonin?
I usually eat dinner, shower, and go right to bed after work. I changed my schedule recently, so I get off work around 5 pm instead of 9 pm. I still eat dinner, shower, and go right to bed.
I might yawn all day at work not really because I’m tired it’s just something I’ve always do e even as a kid but as soon as I get home I’m wired lol
Ditch the caffeine, fuck more but not too much, and get some exercise a few days a week. Works wonders
To majority of people, probably yes. But, actually no.
I’ve struggled with fatigue for years. Turned out I had undiagnosed ADHD.
Only half the day? Lucky.
Depends on who you ask. My psychiatrist says yes, my primary care doctor says no. I’ve been tired for going on 20 years now. With kids, without. Healthy, sick, pregnant, on meds, off meds. So yeah I have no idea
… only half the day?
Depends on factors like children and work.
