Prevention

Mild fatigue can often be prevented by changes in lifestyle habits.

  • Regular exercise is your best defense against fatigue. If you feel too tired to exercise vigorously, try taking a short walk.
  • Eat a balanced diet. Do not skip meals, especially breakfast.
  • Get enough sleep.
  • Deal with emotional problems instead of ignoring or denying them.
  • Take steps to control your stress and workload. For more information, see the topic Stress Management in the Related Information section.
