Why you might be tired all the time

Are you always exhausted?

Here are some of the habits that could be causing it from Huff Post:

Waiting too long between meals  In general, you shouldn’t go more than five or six waking hours without eating.  When you go longer than that, the body will start craving food and you’re more likely to eat quick, processed carbs.

Working at a messy desk  Working in a cluttered area is distracting for your brain which makes tasks take longer to complete and require you to use up more mental focus and energy.

Having too many tabs open  Like a messy desk, having 20-plus tabs open on your computer puts your brain into overdrive and increases the chance that you’ll be distracted.

Watching emotionally-charged television shows  Binge watching shows that are emotionally charged can be overstimulating and it doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative emotions…they both can lead to mental fatigue, difficulty focusing and poor energy levels.
