Why Am I So Tired?
Before you chalk up your lethargy to chronic fatigue, first consider these
other possible causes.
By Alice Lesch Kelly
You're exhausted all the time. You can barely pull yourself out of bed in
the morning, you're sleepy in the afternoon, and you're ready to hit the
sack at sundown. Could you have chronic fatigue syndrome? It's possible,

Iron-deficiency anemia. People with IDA feel fatigued, laconic, and cold
due to a lack of iron in their blood. Iron supplements can usually take
care of the problem.
Depression. Not only does the worry and anxiety that accompany depression

who may recommend behavioral therapy, antidepressant medication, or other
healing modalities.
