\n Feeling wiped out most days? Statistically speaking, you’ve got company. A new report from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics<\/a> finds nearly three-quarters of US adults say they’ve felt “very tired or exhausted” at least some days in the past three months, and about 1 in 6 feel that way most days or every day. Women and young adults 18 to 34 report the highest levels of frequent fatigue, with older adults (65 and up) claiming the lowest levels. Rates are also higher among American Indian and Alaska Native adults, and among people living in the South and Midwest. \n <\/p>\n


\n The report frames fatigue as more than feeling sleepy: It’s physical or mental exhaustion that doesn’t ease with rest and is tied to higher risks of disability, poorer health, and even a risk of earlier death. People reporting frequent fatigue were more likely to also struggle with anxiety, depression, and thinking or concentration problems. The survey, based on about 27,000 adults in 2024, didn’t examine causes, and researchers say fatigue remains under-studied. \n <\/p>\n


\n “The findings are concerning, but not surprising,” says addiction specialist Matt Glowiak, who wasn’t involved in the report, per Healthline<\/a>. “Many Americans are trying to balance work, family responsibilities, financial pressures, and ongoing uncertainty about the future.” Mayo Clinic specialists recommend basics like consistent sleep, regular exercise, and stress-management tools such as meditation, per USA Today<\/a>\u2014and say persistent fatigue belongs in a doctor’s office, not just on your to-do list. \n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Feeling wiped out most days?
