| Many people ignore or simply do not recognize the symptoms of fatigue. Fatigue is the result of the body being physically or mentally exhausted; in extreme cases, it can lead to significant reduction of a person's physical and mental abilities. It is one of the leading causes of injury in the workplace and at home. | ||||
| Fatigue is a decreased capacity or complete inability of a person to function normally because of excessive stimulation or prolonged exertion. Many factors may affect the level of fatigue a person may experience such as long work hours and interrupted or low quality sleep. When these factors are combined, the level of fatigue increases.

| · Sleep quality and duration · Individual demographics such as age, physical condition and health | ||||
| · Diet and nutrition habits · Periods of high stress | ||||
| · Change of diet · Harsh working conditions | ||||
