Do you find yourself constantly feeling tired? Perhaps you feel like you need a nap just a few hours after waking up, you’re still exhausted after your third cup of coffee, or you’re body feels tired, but your brain is fully awake. Knowing why you’re tired may help you deal with it. Here are four reasons you may be tied.
Hormone Issues
With the pandemic and the black lives matter movement, things around us are extremely overwhelming right now and your stress hormone is likely overactive. When you view everything as a threat, your body sends out hormones like adrenaline to help you quickly deal with the situation. This can cause you to have poor sleep or low energy.
Thyroid conditions, cardiovascular issues, depression, fibromyalgia, anemia, liver disease, autoimmune disorder, and kidney disease, etc. can cause tiredness.
When you feel tired, you’re less likely to workout or you’ll exercise at a lower intensity which makes you less tired, leading to a viscous cycle. Exercising can increase your energy, so even if you’re tired, give it a try.

Blood Sugar Crash
Eating lots of processed foods which are high in refined carbs and added sugar can affect your blood sugar—soon after eating these foods you’ll feel a burst of energy and then you’ll crash, making you feel tired.
