Symptoms of overtiredness
1. Constant fatigue
Even after a good night's sleep, you feel exhausted and struggle to get through the day.
2. Concentration problems
An impaired ability to focus, forgetfulness, and difficulty with complex tasks are common signs.
3. Irritability
Excess fatigue can lead to mood swings, rapid irritability and even feelings of depression.
4. Physical complaints
Headaches, muscle aches, digestive problems, and increased heart rate are common physical symptoms.
5. Weakened immune system
You are more susceptible to colds and other infections because your body does not have enough energy to repair itself.
6. Sleep disorders
Ironically, overtiredness can cause sleep problems, such as insomnia or restless sleep.
7. Feeling of exhaustion
Even without heavy physical or mental exertion, you constantly feel tired and empty.
