Feeling tired all day. Many people are experiencing fatigue even though they get enough sleep, have regular health checkups, and don't have any identifiable illnesses.

From the perspective of preventive and anti-aging medicine, which emphasizes understanding the root causes in the body rather than simply managing symptoms.
In medicine, occasional fatigue can result from overwork, accumulated stress, or temporary insufficient rest.

If you experience multiple symptoms simultaneously, fatigue may not simply be due to insufficient rest.
Even if you get the required number of hours of sleep, if you don't sleep deeply and your sleep cycle is disrupted, your body won't be able to fully enter the repair and regeneration phase. Many people therefore feel like, "I get enough sleep, but my body never truly rests."
Accumulated stress keeps the body in a constant alert state. Irregularities in stress hormones (such as cortisol) can interfere with recovery, leading to persistent fatigue. This is why some people stop working but still don't feel better.

Q: How worrying should I be about feeling tired all day?
A: There's no need to worry if symptoms occur intermittently and improve with rest. However, if symptoms are persistent or interfere with daily life, further evaluation may help you understand your body better.
Q: If I don't want to get any further tests, how should I start taking care of myself?
A: Regularly monitoring your sleep, diet, and energy levels, along with engaging in light exercise, can be a good starting point before deciding on further testing.
Q: Are these symptoms related to age?
A: Age may play a part, but it's not the only cause. Fatigue that develops earlier or is more severe than usual should be evaluated based on the actual symptoms rather than age.
Q: When should I see a doctor?
A: If fatigue persists for several weeks, doesn't improve with rest, or begins to affect your work and quality of life, you should consult a doctor for a proper assessment.
Feeling tired all day can occur occasionally and isn't necessarily abnormal. However, if it recurs or becomes chronic, it often reflects some kind of imbalance in the body.
