One of the main factors that contribute to fatigue is sleep deprivation. Not sleeping for enough hours makes you feel lethargic, which alleviates the feelings of fatigue. Therefore, try to take at least 6-7 hours of uninterrupted sleep every day to prevent feelings of fatigue throughout the day.

4. Manage Stress

According to the NIH, stress uses up a lot of energy. Try to introduce relaxing activities into your day such as working out at the gym, yoga or tai chi, listening to music or reading or spending time with friends. Practise meditation to reduce your stress and live a healthy life.

5. Stay Hydrated

Harvard Health states that water is essential for carrying nutrients to your body's cells and taking away waste products. Roughly 50% to 60% of your body weight is water, yet you constantly lose water through urine, sweat, and breathing. When you are low on fluids, your body may feel tired and weaker than usual. Therefore, replenish your body with adequate amounts of water throughout the day.
