    It might help to journal about other factors in your life like how much sleep you're getting, where you're at in your cycle, etc. Also ask to have complete blood work done so you can know where your iron, vit D, etc are at. Part of the fatigue could be due to a deficiency. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water.

    I dont sleep well i never had most nights i get around the 6 hours mark but sometimes i only get 4 .I cant track my cycle as i dont get periods and i know that in the winter i dont drink as much water as i should .Had bloods done a few months back and all was fine but was given vit D tabs as it was low.I will increase the water and maybe try and get more sleep

    You might also want to get checked for sleep apnea. My vitality lifted after I got that taken care of.

    This sounds really basic but I will put it out there anyway - I find whenever I get tired and at the beginning of the day I have a few minutes (and a quick walk if I can manage it time-wise) outside. The fresh air seems to kick my brain into gear and I feel like it is a bit of a re-set. Another thing that really helps me is doing meditations to help me properly relax when I'm going to have some down-time.

    Cutting caffiene helped me - sounds counter intuitive but really worked. Now I tend to have only a couple of cups of black coffee where I used to have about 9! I have water and herbal teas now instead.
