What is fatigue?
Fatigue is a feeling of extreme physical or mental tiredness and lack of energy. It can range from mild to severe and have different causes:
- Physical fatigue is that "worn out" feeling in your muscles after physical activity. It's usually temporary and improves with rest.
- Mental fatigue refers to reduced mental sharpness and concentration, often from overwork or inadequate sleep. Rest and stress management can help.
