It's perfectly normal to feel tired at the end of a busy day. However, if tiredness persists for weeks, has started to become a problem with your work or is not improving after getting adequate rest, it shouldn't be taken lightly. It could mean something is amiss in your body.

Fatigue is more than 'sleepiness'. Can manifest as physical weakness, mental heaviness or emotional exhaustion. Some may feel exhausted at all times, lack motivation for the task at hand, or struggle to come up with the energy to concentrate even if they are able to sleep well.

Fatigue may have a lot of causes. Bad sleep, diet, thyroid function, infections, chronic health issues, drugs, and emotional issues can all contribute. This is why it is important to establish the true cause first, before determining the types of necessary supports.

We do not consider low energy to be a small and isolated issue at Manovaidya. An attempt is made to grasp the whole person. Sleep, lifestyle, nutrition, emotional wellbeing/mind-body health are all linked together to develop healthier long-term habits.

We practice Neuro-Ayurveda Development System under the guidance of Mental Health Specialist, Dr. Ankush Garg, Founder of Manovaidya. A five-pillar approach that considers all aspects of brain, gut, behaviour, lifestyle and emotional health.

What is Fatigue?

Fatigue is a state of weariness, typically physical, mental or emotional and that lasts for an extended period of time. Rest does not always help it to pass.

After exercise, or when tired, normal tiredness will usually improve following sleep. Fatigue is different. Can cause disruption to work, relationships, concentration and daily life.

Fatigue is not a disease in its own right. A symptom which can occur due to numerous medical and psychological causes.

With a proper medical assessment, it is possible to identify the true cause and determine the appropriate treatment or assistance.

How Are Stress and Fatigue Connected?

The body's stress reaction continues and continues when someone is emotionally stressed for extended periods.

  • This can impact (over time):
  • Sleep quality
  • Emotional wellbeing
  • Energy levels
  • Concentration
  • Daily motivation
  • Recovery after work
  • Some people experience fatigue during stress, but fatigue can occur for a number of other reasons. Constant fatigue can also be the symptom of many physical health issues.

    Knowledge and awareness of the relationship between stress, lifestyle and energy level can assist a person in making health choices.

    Can Stress Cause Fatigue?

    Stress can have an impact on the mind and body. A person can feel physically drained, mentally overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted even after sleeping enough when stress occurs for a prolonged period.

    Stress can disrupt sleep, routine, concentration and healing. However, there are a lot of different causes of fatigue. Don't assume that all of your tiredness is due to stress.

    Fatigue that persists for weeks of time or begins to impact everyday life should be properly assessed by a healthcare professional.
