These could be the causes."},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fatigue can have various causes. Sometimes it is due to the quality of your sleep or your lifestyle habits. Physical ailments can also play a role. Often, stress plays a larger role than you initially realize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are you tired even though you sleep a lot?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of hours you spend in bed does not indicate how much restorative sleep you get. You may sleep restlessly, wake up frequently, or have difficulty relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possible reasons why you remain tired despite getting enough sleep are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An irregular sleep pattern.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waking up often.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alcohol, caffeine, or heavy screen use in the evening.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain or medication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anxiety, gloom, or worrying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prolonged stress and insufficient recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, don&#039;t just look at your sleep duration. Also examine how much tension you experience during the day and how much room you have to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The influence of stress on sleep and fatigue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stress drains energy, even when you try to relax. Worries about work, your private life, or a busy schedule can remain active in your mind. As a result, your body remains alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may feel tired, yet still sleep restlessly. Sometimes you get enough hours of sleep, while it provides little restorative benefit. During the day, you may become more easily irritated, have difficulty concentrating, or become more sensitive to stimuli. Everyday tasks require increasingly more energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this way, stress and fatigue reinforce each other. Due to fatigue, you are less able to cope with daily pressure. As a result, you experience tension more quickly, which in turn hinders your recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When can there be a physical cause?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medication, a physical condition, or a sleep disorder can also cause fatigue. Contact your GP if the symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by, for example, shortness of breath, weight loss, palpitations, or severe daytime sleepiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you do if stress seems to be the main cause?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When stress plays a major role, sleeping longer is usually not the complete solution. It is important to investigate where the tension comes from and why your body is not recovering sufficiently. Map out which obligations, worries, and stimuli demand a lot of energy. Then, look at which load you can temporarily reduce or redistribute.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would you like more insight into the relationship between exertion and recovery? <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fysi.nl\/en\/physio-balance\/\">Fysi Balance<\/a><\/strong> focuses on people with stress, fatigue, or reduced resilience.
