The common problem

So, what exactly is it? What are the causes of this long and exhausting fatigue?

Here are four possible explanations for your daily exhaustion:

  1. Coffee misconception

One of the biggest misconceptions about caffeine is that its effects wear off quickly after the initial boost. Caffeine, in reality, stays in your body for a long time, almost 24 hours. By preventing your nervous system’s adenosine receptor from accepting adenosine, the chemical that controls your sleep-wake cycle. After the caffeine wears off, you’ll feel tired from the sudden burst of adenosine. Because the accumulated adenosine is released from its build-up by yesterday’s caffeine, this explains the severe drowsiness in the next morning. Therefore, it is recommended that coffee be consumed before noon.

  1. Not spending extra time to fall asleep

We often go to sleep at the exact time that we intended. But in reality, people need an extra amount of time to fall asleep. It takes an average of 20 to 30 minutes for a person to fall asleep after they have lied down in bed. This may take even longer if you are looking at your phone or surfing the internet. The blue light from your electronic devices can trick your brain into thinking that it is still morning, which extends the time you need to fall asleep even more.

  1. Sitting down for too long

It is true that we are easily subjected to sitting down for long periods of time. But it is also important for you to know that the longer you stay active, the higher your stamina. People who actively exercise daily usually have a higher baseline of stamina than people who don’t. As a result, it is advised that you spend some time on the weekend exercising in order to improve your stamina.

  1. Underlying medical condition

If you’ve had long-term fatigue for several months and no improvement have been made, you should speak with medical professionals and doctors about your symptoms. It’s critical to understand that feeling exhausted all of the time is unusual. In the long run, getting treatment for an underlying medical condition may help you avoid serious health problems.
