Not getting enough high quality sleep

For overall health, getting enough sleep is essential. Weakness may result from the fact that you do not get enough. Your body carries out many important functions when you sleep, such as releasing vital growth hormones and cell repair and regeneration. This is why after a night of good sleep, most people feel refreshed, alert, and energized.

It's crucial that your sleep be uninterrupted and restful so that your brain can go through three stages of NREM sleep and one stage of REM sleep, which is the stage in which you dream. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society advises adults to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night for best health. Treatments for insomnia (a term for any condition that causes difficulty falling or staying asleep) may include the management of underlying medical disorders, prescription drugs, and natural supplements. Get the right care and treatment by seeing your doctor.
