Decrease Energy and Insomnia

Prolonged stress can also result in chronic exhaustion and diminished energy levels. One research of 2,483 adults, for example, discovered that weariness was closely connected with greater stress levels. Stress can also interfere with sleep and induce insomnia, which can contribute to fatigue. According to one small study, higher levels of work-related stress were associated with increased drowsiness and restlessness before bedtime. Another research of 2,316 people found that having more stressful situations was strongly connected with an increased incidence of sleeplessness.

These studies suggest a link, but they don't take into consideration other factors that may have had a role. More study is needed to discover whether stress might directly induce low energy levels. Dehydration, low blood sugar, a poor diet, or underactive thyroid are all possible causes of low energy levels.
