There are a number of conditions that this type of tiredness may indicate, depending on other accompanying symptoms. Read through the following list and click on the highlighted conditions that you relate to the most. You don't need to experience every symptom in the list and there may be more than one condition that you relate to.

If you have also experienced a general decline in your skin, hair and nails; digestive problems such as leaky gut syndrome; poor immunity (frequent colds, flu, infections) - this may indicate malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies.

If you also experience sugar cravings; headaches; skin problems; feel unwell when you eat fatty foods - this may indicate liver congestion.

Do you often worry about your circumstances or have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep? Do you have a hectic lifestyle and you often 'burn the candle at both ends' with either work, study or partying? Your tiredness may be due to stress.

If you are also tired when you first wake up; feel tired after exercise; lead a very hectic life now or in the past; experience chronic allergies, inflammation or digestive problems - this may indicate adrenal exhaustion.

If you also experience low moods (not necessarily depression); constipation; difficulty losing weight; feel the cold easily - this may indicate hypothyroidism.
