Avoid caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, tea or colas, as much as possible. Do not drink beverages containing caffeine after 4:00 P.M., if you do drink them.

 

Avoid alcohol. Although alcohol is a sedative, it can stop you from receiving a deep, restful sleep.

 

Spend time each day doing things you enjoy. Take time to do gardening or another hobby you find pleasurable.

 

Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.

 

Cut down on stressful activities. Although it is impossible to live without stress, it may be possible to reduce some of the more stressful activities in your life.

 

There are many different causes of fatigue, it is important to talk with your doctor to determine the correct diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis and treatment will help immensely in alleviating symptoms of fatigue.
