Article Surfing ArchiveCoping With Fatigue - Articles SurfingAre you feeling tired a lot for no apparent cause or at least that you can think of? Ever wonder what is making you feel so tired all the time? Fatigue can have many different causes that may include: ' Lack of sleep: You might be surprised to know that getting even an hour less than you normally get can leave you drowsy the next day. Is it because you did not go to bed early enough or you went to bed, but could not go to sleep. As a person gets older, it becomes more difficult to get uninterrupted sleep and you may sleep less soundly and/or awaken earlier. ' Stress: Going through life each day stressed and anxious can keep you from relaxing and getting the rest you need. ' Inactivity: If you are tired all the time, you probably feel 'too tired' to exercise, so you don't. When you do exercise and exert yourself, you probably get tired fairly quick because you are out of shape. You still need to exercise to beat both these situations. Moderate exercise for at least ' hour or longer most days of the week helps reduce stress, improve the mood and will leave you feeling energized (once you get past the too tired feelings and the tired feelings from exertion). Be careful not to schedule your exercise sessions too close to bedtime, or you might have trouble getting to sleep. ' Eating habits: Not eating properly or drinking enough fluids will cause your body to not get the fuel and fluid it needs. Avoid drinking beverages that contain caffeine close to bedtime. ' Certain medications: Many different medications can cause fatigue, antidepressants, allergy medicines, antihistamines and many beta blockers can cause fatigue. Cold medications and pain relievers that contain caffeine and other stimulants can help to keep you up at night. Tips to battle against fatigue include: 'Reduce your everyday stress: Say 'no' more often. Set priorities. Organize activities to avoid confusion. Do something each day that you enjoy.
