Fatigue
Fatigue is a feeling of tiredness, exhaustion, weariness, or lack of energy. It can be both physical and mental. We all experience fatigue at some point from our daily activities, but when it becomes excessive or inconsistent with the activity, it becomes problematic.
Some key things to know about fatigue:
- Physical fatigue affects muscles and results from prolonged physical activity, inadequate rest, or underlying medical conditions. Symptoms include sore muscles, muscle weakness, and lack of endurance.
- Mental fatigue affects brain function resulting from prolonged periods of cognitive activity, stress, anxiety, or lack of quality sleep. Symptoms include reduced motivation, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes.
- Chronic fatigue persists for more than 6 months and disrupts daily activities. It may result from lifestyle factors like lack of exercise, poor sleep habits, workplace stress, or medical conditions like anemia, depression, cancer, heart disease, etc.
The most common factors causing fatigue include:
- Lack of sleep or poor sleep quality
- Physical overexertion
- Poor nutrition
- Dehydration
- Stress, anxiety and depression
- Underlying medical conditions
To manage fatigue, some helpful tips are:
- Get enough high-quality sleep every night
- Exercise regularly to improve energy levels
- Eat a balanced, nutritious diet and stay hydrated
- Practice stress management techniques like yoga, meditation
- Take breaks during demanding tasks to rest both body and mind
- Consult a doctor if fatigue persists to address any underlying conditions
While occasional fatigue is normal, unrelenting exhaustion can negatively impact health and quality of life. Pay attention to your body, practice healthy lifestyle habits, and seek medical advice if needed to keep fatigue in check.
