Frequent fatigue can be the sign of a condition.
The causes for which we feel tired can be multiple: sleeplessness, stress, inadequate nutrition, dehydration, lack of minerals or vitamins (such as Na, Mg, Fe, B12), endocrine diseases (hypothyroidism), heart disease, convalescence after infections, pulmonary diseases (pulmonary fibrosis, COPD), diabetes mellitus.
Lack of sleep, both in early life and adulthood, can induce fatigue (fatigue) as well as other manifestations, such as: decreased concentration and attention, irritability. It seems that an adult body needs 6-7 hours of sleep per night, as well as the time we go to sleep and which should be before midnight. Sleep during the day, for a short time (20-40 minutes), can “restart” the body by charging it with energy, but it does not replace night sleep.
Stress and lack of sleep can create a vicious circle, which develops with fatigue, sleep disturbances, appetite disturbances (either lack of appetite or excessive hunger). Different companies have been trying to offer employees the idea of reducing office stress with recreational activities, and reorganizing employees’ workplaces (placing aquariums with marine animals, ornamental plants including exotic, ambient music).
Insufficient nutrition may cause hypoglycaemia, especially nocturnal, which, over time, induces diurnal fatigue. Establishing a proper timetable for meals, correctly dividing them and correctly associating food principles, all of which can combat hypoglycemia in most cases.
Dehydration causes fatigue by lowering cardiac output and, implicitly, vital organ perfusion. Thus, in the absence of proper tissue oxygenation, cellular metabolism disorders occur which, in cases where insufficient oxygenation is not corrected for a longer period of time, can be felt by the body as a state of fatigue. Ingesting 30ml / kg bodyweight and quitting smoking can improve fatigue,
