Self-help tips to get over perpetual tiredness

Tiredness and fatigue are okay if occasional, but if it is happening repeatedly, it is time to evaluate your habits and change them before they cause further harm.

If your fatigue doesn’t go away despite getting good sleep, it is time to look for a change. Exhaustion is not normal and all you need to do is increase your energy levels.

Doctors believe many cases of tiredness are due to stress. Most of the time tiredness caused due to these reasons is not even relieved by sleeping and resting, making it to be an underlying medical condition.

There are a few ways you can get over it and be energetic:

1. Exercise regularly: Well tired and exercise don't go together, but in fact, regularly working out will make you feel less tired in the long run and increase your energy levels. Take a 15-20 minute's walk or run, and feel the energy boost.
2. Lose weight: To gain energy, it is very important to remain fit. Being obese and overweight is only going to make you feel more lethargic.
3. Regularise sleep: It is important to complete 7-9 hours of sleep every day to feel good. Go to bed early and avoid long naps during the day.
4. Reduce stress: Stress is the main cause of fatigue and tiredness; it saps out your energy and so it is very important to work on reducing it. Do some calming and breathing exercises, and meditation every day to reduce stress.
5. Reduce smoking and drinking: Apart from badly affecting your health, smoking and drinking reduce energy levels to a great extent. Both also cause a lot of dehydration.
6. Reduce caffeine: If you are feeling tired, cut your caffeine totally from your daily diet.
