“There are numerous causes of tiredness including poor sleep, dehydration and stress, especially around Christmas time, as well as medical causes.” Feeling tired all the time is referred to as “TATT” by medical professionals.
This is the reason you feel tired all of the time It’s common to feel run down at this time of year, writes Olivia Petter.
“Fatigue is an extremely common symptom seen in general practice,” says Dr Angela Rai, GP at the Harley Street GP clinic, The London General Practice.
Of the myriad reasons for TATT Dr Rai sees as a GP, one of the most common is anaemia, which is an iron deficiency that can be detected by a blood test and treated with iron tablets.
There are countless reasons why someone might feel tired beyond the obvious factors, like illness, burnout, and disrupted sleep.
