I always feel tired, even when I wake up late in the morning. That's weird! In this writing, I want to make some points about permanent fatigue hopefully it can help.
Fatigue is a feeling of weakness and lack of energy in the body. In addition, it can be physical, psychological or a combination of both. Almost all people have experienced fatigue at some point in their life. In most cases, it is transient and is caused by excessive activity, sleep deprivation, long stress, etc. But sometimes it may be a symptom of a physical or mental illness. In this case, the fatigue is continuous, it does not go away with rest, and it progresses over time and causes a decrease in the motivation, energy and concentration of the person.
