Overweight or obesity

Maintaining healthy body weight is essential for optimum health. In addition to being closely linked to a higher risk of a number of chronic illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and several cancers; obesity may increase your risk of getting chronic fatigue.

You are far more likely to develop obstructive sleep apnea, a common cause of daytime sleepiness if you are obese. Because obesity is linked to increased daytime sleepiness, it may directly affect the sleep cycle. Obese people are also more likely to have diseases like type 2 diabetes and depression that are connected to fatigue. Inadequate sleep and sleep deprivation may also cause weight gain or obesity.
