4 essential factors to consider when battling low energy and fatigue
/I felt glued to the couch. My mind wanted me to move but my body couldn't follow orders. A 10 minute rest turned into sleep and couch lock. You know that feeling upon waking where you just can't move? I was exhausted but hadn't really done anything to warrant that level of feeling bone tired.
Have you ever felt like this?
Fatigue plagued many of my days for years. I expected to feel sleep deprived while my daughter was an infant and toddler. She wasn't a great sleeper and would often wake me up in the middle of the night through the age of 4. However as she approached 5 years old she was sleeping better and so was I but I was still tired ALL OF THE TIME.
I had to figure out what was wrong. I've always lead a healthy life style but something was off. Was it my hormones? An illness? Was I missing deep REM sleep?
There are lots of reasons for low energy and what I share in this post are just a few to consider. If you've had prolonged fatigue I suggest you see your health care provide to rule out a serious condition.
