Fatigue - Balance Hormone Clinic

What is fatigue?

Fatigue is a feeling of tiredness, lack of energy, or exhaustion that doesn't get better with rest. It can range from mild to severe and happen even when you have gotten enough sleep.

There are two main types of fatigue:

• Physical fatigue: A lack of energy and feeling of exhaustion that is often triggered by physical activity, exercise, or work. It's the body's way of saying it needs rest.
• Mental fatigue: Difficulty concentrating, reduced motivation, and sleepiness. Activities that require focus and concentration like work, driving, or studying can lead to mental fatigue.

There are many potential causes of fatigue, including:

• Lack of quality sleep
