Why are you always tired?

Some people are so full of life and energy but for some reason even when you seem to get more than enough sleep, you are still fighting off yawns and fatigue throughout the day. So why are you always tired?

If you know the number of hours of sleep is not the problem, the second most common cause of fatigue comes from lack of physical activity and a poor diet. Study after study finds that adults who began light exercise a few times a week reported more energy after six weeks. People who exercise more regularly also report sleeping better. Even though studies show that they are not sleeping any longer. Even if that does not help, do not go straight to your cup of joe. While many studies show that coffee is good for your health, research shows that your reliance on it can make you more sleepy. Consuming coffee or energy drinks 6 hours before bed can ultimately affect your sleep quality. As a result, people often report feeling less tired in the morning. You might consider making sure you are fully hydrated with some water first too. Those glasses of wine or beer may also be affecting your day. Studies have found that after becoming intoxicated while test subjects would fall asleep faster, their quality of sleep was actually much lower, particularly during the second half of their night sleep. Ultimately alcohol reduces the amount of REM sleep you get. Also always be aware that a consistent sleep schedule is key.

To conclude this, always make sure you are drinking sufficient water, exercising regularly and sleeping at least 7-8 hours a day. This will help you get better sleep and you will not feel so tired all the time.
