Fatigue

Tiredness can be due to anything from leading a hectic lifestyle, to poor sleep, or too many late nights. But the problem starts to get more serious (and mysterious) when tiredness and exhaustion continues for a prolonged amount of time and / or is unexplained. This bigger issue can be caused by many factors like stress, too little or too much exercise, caffeine or a diet lacking in certain nutrients.

A step further than tiredness, fatigue is generally defined as having a lack of motivation and energy that can be mental, physical or both. The extreme desire to sleep, as well as apathy, weariness, exhaustion, listlessness and feeling run down in general can also be used to describe fatigue.
