A lot of times we feel tired, but have had adequate sleep: that fatigue we experience is nervous fatigue.
It is not a muscular fatigue but just a sense of being tired. A nervous fatigue is not remedied by more rest if sleep was of average quality.
The one thing you have complete control of is your muscles. To alleviate nervous fatigue, you walk on, fatigue or no fatigue.
You can also force your muscles to walk even when you feel exhausted.
Your muscles can be commanded to move. In the morning your hands and feet work, your legs work, and when you continually depend upon the muscles of your body to move, despite nervous exhaustion, you can alleviate that feeling of fatigue.
Only an authority can diagnosis if your fatigue is due to an illness. If you have no diagnosed condition that would cause fatigue, then you can conquer that symptom by merely moving your muscles.
Conquering nervous fatigue by commanding your muscles to work takes practice, but is well worth the effort.
Even if your brain says "no," your muscles can take over.

Hmm maybe you are on to something. I am always tired. Unless I get about 12 hours of sleep I will yawn all day. I hate being so tired all the time. Maybe I should try exercising when I am tired even though I would think it would cause me to be more tired.

I have been going through a lot of this kind of fatigue. I am just thinking that probably I am going old too each day.

I attended a camp recently where I learnt that i am capable of doing more than I thought possible especially my physical strength is especially way more than I think I can. Have to get rid of 'mind' issues and move ahead.

Sometimes I feel tired but when I go to take a nap, I can't fall asleep. Sounds like maybe what I need is to get up and move around, instead.

I like that quote: "Energy begets energy". Great post and thanks for teaching me something new about fatigue. Never knew about the nervous kind.
