Sleep

Hey, feeling wiped out all day can have a few different things behind it πŸ’›

Some tiredness can be normal while your body is changing, or during exams, stress or emotional shock.

Late nights, too much caffeine, lots of mental or emotional pressure, dehydration and an unbalanced diet can also leave you more tired.

A few things could help day to day ✨

πŸ‘‰ Aim for 8 to 10 hours of sleep, avoid daytime naps, and try to relax before bed as part of a regular sleep routine.

πŸ‘‰ Eat a balanced diet, try energy-boosting snacks like fruit or oats, and drink plenty of water.

πŸ‘‰ A short walk can give you an energy boost, while regular exercise may help manage tiredness over time.

πŸ‘‰ If you have lots of caffeine, you could slowly cut down over three weeks rather than stopping suddenly.

Here’s when it’s worth speaking to a doctor 🩷

If the tiredness feels overwhelming and rest or sleep doesn’t relieve it, or you’re still very tired after trying these changes, book an appointment with a doctor as soon as possible.

Fatigue like this can sometimes be linked to conditions such as anaemia, an underactive thyroid or sleep apnoea.

You could keep a diary of your routine and take it to the appointment.

Love right back, take care πŸ’•
