What Makes You Tired All the Time?

There are many things that can make one feel tired all the time. These range from conditions and lifestyles to illnesses.

Depression

One reason for feeling tired is depression. This can be treated with a combination of medications and psychotherapy.

Diet

If poor dietary choices are made, fatigue can be the result. According to ABC Health and Wellbeing, a lack of iron can often be blamed for fatigue.

Anemia

Anemia is another condition that can cause one to feel very tired. By treating the cause of the anemia (with iron and B12 supplements), it can often be handled well.

Lifestyle

We are busier now than ever before; it is very common to cram more than we can handle into our days. Relaxing and limiting extracurricular activities can be a great help in getting some energy back.

Insomnia

Many people just cannot get to sleep at night and this results in an ongoing tiredness. Limit caffeine late in the day, get to bed and get up at the same times each day and do not stay in bed once you realize you cannot sleep if you have insomnia.
