Not getting enough sleep, but still feeling tired? Here's the real reason

Many people notice that even after a full night's sleep, they still feel tired and sluggish. Why does this happen despite 7-8 hours of rest? Scientists and doctors identify several key reasons behind chronic fatigue, even when following a sleep schedule.

Poor quality sleep

Even if you sleep the required number of hours, sleep quality is important. Frequent awakenings, sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep), too bright or noisy environment can prevent the body from fully recovering.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies

Lack of iron, B vitamins, D and magnesium can cause constant fatigue. Even with good sleep, the body cannot cope without the necessary "fuel".

Psychological and emotional burnout

Chronic stress, anxiety, and emotional tension often "eat up" energy, and no rest gives a sense of recovery. The psyche continues to remain tense even during sleep.

Hormonal imbalances

Disorders in the thyroid or adrenal glands can lead to feelings of constant weakness, drowsiness, and apathy. This requires medical examination and hormone analysis.

Sedentary lifestyle

Paradoxically, lack of physical activity can cause constant fatigue. Movement helps accelerate blood circulation, increase energy levels, and improve metabolism.

Conclusion:

If you get enough sleep but still feel tired, it's important not to ignore this signal from your body. Perhaps the issue is not with sleep, but with hidden physiological or emotional causes that require attention and self-care.
