Fatigue

Everyone gets tired, just like everyone gets stressed—but chronic fatigue and stress also go hand-in-hand. You should never take the constant feeling of fatigue as normal, especially when you get a good night of rest but wake up still exhausted. Moreover, if you are restless at night and tired during the day, you are taxing your whole body.

Fatigue is also a sign of anxiety, which can cause insomnia and other disruptive issues that keep you from getting comfortable or closing your eyes at night. To get better rest, for try removing any blue light from the bedroom 30 minutes before going to bed, since blue light can confuse your body. Next, listen to some calming music, read a book, or do some gentle yoga to ease the mind and body. You might even want to do some breathing practices. Some people also recommend taking melatonin to aid in deeper sleep.
