Hello,
Good day.
We need to find out the cause of your tiredness. What is your height and weight? What is your age? Any current illness apart from tiredness ( like diabetes etc) ? Do you snore at night and wake up in the mornig feeling as if you havent slept well ? Do you fall asleep while driving or watching TV in the day time? Any weight loss?

Smoking/alchol ?

Do you feel depressed or lonely ?

There are number of causes: Anemia, Thyroid diosrders, diabetes, hormonal problems etc which can cause tiredness.

Obstructive sleep apnea is another importat cause of tiredness ( snore during sleep with out sufficient depth of sleep).

Lack of sleep and reduced sleep time is yet another cause.

Anxiety, depression etc are other causes of tiredness.

May i suggest you to visit a GP ?
If not, we need some blood and urine works.
