Q: Why am I so tired even when I get enough sleep?
A: There are many reasons for fatigue despite getting adequate sleep. Iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, and thyroid dysfunction are common culprits. If blood tests are normal, we must consider other potential causes. One of the most important causes of fatigue often does not show up on blood tests: Adrenal Fatigue.
Our adrenal glands produce hormones to help us respond to stressful situations. In the short term, this is a good thing; it helps us cope and saves us from danger. In cases of chronic stress, however, this can eventually result in ‘burnout’. Supporting the adrenals with nutrition, herbs, and stress management is vital to optimize energy levels and sleep patterns.
