Fatigue is a feeling of tiredness, weariness or lack of energy. Fatigue can be a
normal and important response to physical exertion, emotional stress, boredom,
or lack of sleep. However, it can also be a nonspecific sign of a more serious
psychological or physical disorder. When fatigue is not resolved by enough
sleep, or good nutrition, it should be evaluated by your physician. Here you
will find a list of great resources dealing with fatigue.
