Fatigue is a tough one. The body is so complex, and anything that interferes with normal function can make a person very tired.

For me, stress (high adrenaline and cortisol) are the worst contributors to fatigue.

I posted this reply in a similar discussion:
Analyze your diet. It's really hard to get enough iron from your diet, so I take an iron supplement (Liquimins makes a good one: click here) and it makes a big difference. Insufficient iron can result in feeling run down and fatigued.
Also, keep yourself hydrated. Drink lots and lots of water. This can help with energy levels too. If need be, set an alarm for yourself as a reminder to drink water, maybe 8 ounces every half hour (8 ounces is only 1 cup Cool ).
(Liquimins makes a whole host of really good supplements. They're available in a lot of health food stores or online.)

Fatigue is the story of my life. I have no idea why.

In general fatigue results from lack of sleep. Eight hours regularly helps me but it is difficult to put that time aside.

I feel it makes sense to add that going over your RDA of iron can cause stiffness of the stool, and that's never fun.
