Fatigue, tired and Plain Worn out
Are you fatigued?
Do you feel worn out?
Do you lack enough energy to get through the day?
Is the wear and tear of modern life exhausting you?
Are you burning the candle at both ends?
You may not be alone. Doctors will tell you the most common complaint people have is FATIGUE. Even though all of people suffer from fatigue, it is not a normal condition.
What causes fatigue?
*It could be you are experiencing long hours of wakefulness and lacking sleep.
*It could be you have a large amount mental work and stress in your life.
*It could be because you are involved with excess amount of physical work.
Whatever the reason for your fatigue, a tired body and a tired mind does not function well. Perhaps you have experienced crankiness and irritability when you have felt fatigued. Perhaps you have spoken harshly to your spouse or kids after a long hard day? Have you ever acted impulsive and later regretted it, then noticed it was when you were worn out?
Fatigue can impair our judgment, impair our initiative, impair our creativity, impair our forethought and impair our reason.
How our body functions
The more work we do the more energy we use. The brain uses glucose for energy. The brain is very sensitive to the lack of glucose. Have you noticed when your kids are hungry they are irritability? And when you give them food, their attitude improves?
Even when a person is well rested, there is a normal fluctuation of energy that flow through our body everyday. For an example, the cortisol hormone is initially high at the beginning of the day and then in the afternoon the secretions are much lower.
7 Steps to Fight Fatigue
1. Get adequate sleep. Most people require 8 hours of sleep each night. Determine how much you need. Keep your bedroom cool, quiet and dark. Relax before retiring. Avoid eating a heavy meal before bedtime. Tonight’s sleep provides tomorrows energy.
2. Exercise 30 minutes a day. Morning or early afternoon is preferred. Avoid exercising right before bedtime.
3. Set aside regular time of recreation and diversion. Take time off to have some fun. We were not meant to keep working at an intense pace.

5. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and nicotine. You may feel more tired the first few days after eliminating these from your life.
