9 Reasons Why You Are Tired

You're Dehydrated

If you fail to replace even a mere fraction of the water weight you lose during the day you can experience mood swings and really bad fatigue... So drink up.

You're Low On B12

Vitamin B12 that is, it's the key to all things good and productive, producing red blood cells and keeping those important brain neurons functioning, so essentially you're fucked without the precious B12

 You're Stressed The Fuck Out

Your levels of the stress hormone cortisol run highest in the morning and dip down at night, helping you maintain a normal daily rhythm. Stress throws this pattern out of whack... Try doing some Yoga.

Iron Levels Are Dropping Low

There is a lot of chemical stuff to do with red blood cells and diseases like anaemia, so if you're feeling slouchy get a doc to check your blood.

You're Not Working Out Enough

In theory, sitting around all day may seem like a nice thing to do but it can cause your body to keep that pent up energy for when you're supposed to be sleeping

You're Working Out Too Much

Just in the same way stress causing you to go all out of kilter, physical stress caused by over working can lead to the same crashes.

Sleeping To Little...

Obviously this is a pretty simple one but not getting those zzzz can lead to much tiredness, it's a tough balance though because getting too much sleep can be tiring too.

Drinking Too Much Coffee

Becoming dependant on coffee and caffeine causes you to experience withdrawal symptoms when you are not fully juiced up disturbing those all important sleeping patterns.

Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal Of The Day

There's a reason that it 's called the most important meal of the day, take a small amount of time to cram something down your throat to avoid the mid morning crash and you'll thank yourself you got up 10 minutes earlier.
