Why Am I So Tired?

4. Anemia
Anemia is a condition that means there is not enough hemoglobin in the blood. This is relevant because hemoglobin allows our blood to carry oxygen throughout the body, and oxygen is an important part of the metabolic process. In short, oxygen helps to give us energy.
Because anemia means there is less hemoglobin, it also means there is less oxygen, thus the patient will have less energy. The good news is that this is usually relatively easy to fix by adding more iron to your diet, or by using supplements. Otherwise, you should speak with a doctor about what treatment is necessary.
