• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Does your body feel heavy and your mind totally blank?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Having low energy is not an uncommon problem, but it's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: still a tough one. And dealing with this exhaustion, it
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: makes you feel tired even thinking about it. But what
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: could it be that makes you feel tired all the time?

  Speaker 1: tiredness under control. Let's begin. A tired mind. Often, fatigue
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: may be a byproduct of a psychological problem, especially depression.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Psychiatrist and sleep medicine expert, Alex Dimitriou, says that fatigue
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and depression can look quite similar. A 2018 study even
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: estimated that over 90% of people living with depression have
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: symptoms of fatigue. Dr. Amy Rickey said for Insider that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: this may happen because of brain chemistry. She says that dopamine, serotonin,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and norepinephrine play important roles in regulating not only your mood,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: but also energy levels. So when you're depressed, your body
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: may feel heavy and slow. making it hard to do
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: even the simplest tasks, such as showering or getting dressed.
• 1:17

  Speaker 1: Anxiety is another psychological issue that could play a role
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in your fatigue. While you're in the depths of anxiety,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the racing heart and quickened breath might keep you awake.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But after the worst is over, you're hit with a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: post-anxiety crash. Micah Abraham, who has a Bachelor of Science
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in Psychology, wrote for Calm Clinic that anxiety is like
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: being on high alert, but once the adrenaline runs out,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: your body goes through a crash that can leave you
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: feeling drained. You may also feel exhausted because of the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: tension in your muscles or racing thoughts that bothered you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: throughout the day. Mental illness could definitely make you more tired,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but sometimes the problem may be a bit different. Let's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: explore why your nutrition might be the reason why you're
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: so sleepy all the time. What's on your plate? Do
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you know that feeling when you eat a delicious meal
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and suddenly you feel so sleepy? You just wanna get
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: under a warm blanket and take an afternoon nap. It's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: awesome when it's Sunday in your home, but what if
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you're at work or school? And what if this tiredness
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: persists the entire day? Well, the food you eat might
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: be responsible for this grogginess, especially carbohydrates. According to Harvard
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: School of Public Health, eating too many carbs makes your
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: blood sugar spike, creating a short-term energy rush. Your body
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: then releases insulin and causes the removal of carbs into
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: your muscles and organs. Now, your blood sugar goes back down,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: leaving you lethargic and tired. Sugary sweets may have a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: similar effect. In a study published in Journal Appetite in 2016,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: people who ate a diet high in refined sugars had
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: higher scores for depressive symptoms and fatigue. than those who
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: ate a diet high in whole grains and low in sugar. Yes,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: we know that chocolate cake is the best, but science
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: is clear on this one. What you drink may play
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a role in your energy levels as well. You often
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: reach for coffee when you're tired. It seems logical to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: try and cure your tiredness with a large amount of coffee,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: but research shows it might not be the best idea.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: A 2016 study published in the journal Nutrition showed that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: drinking one cup too many is linked to increased nighttime worrying, sleeplessness,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: increased nighttime awakenings, decreased total sleep time, and daytime sleepiness.

  Speaker 1: to eat balanced and nutritious meals, high-quality protein, lots of veggies,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: especially greens such as spinach and broccoli, and low-sugar foods,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: for example, strawberries or blackberries. Snack times are quite a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: challenge since he loves eating chocolate, but Dr. Myers says
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that an entire block of chocolate is not a good
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: idea for a pick-me-up snack. He still eats chocolate, but
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: only a small piece. Next, Sai makes sure to drink
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: enough water throughout the day, and he doesn't skip exercise anymore.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: He read a 2013 research study published in the journal Fatigue, Biomedicine, Health,

  Speaker 1: to moderate intensity exercise can reduce fatigue and increase energy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: He often puts on fun YouTube exercise videos to help
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: him get going. Sometimes it gets hard for Sai to

  Speaker 1: get up in the morning, but he read a quote

  Speaker 1: from sleep specialist Rebecca Scott on Thrillist.com, where she says
• 4:50
