Väsimine

Väsimine, also known as fatigue, is a state of physical, mental, or emotional exhaustion. It is a common human experience that can be caused by various factors, including lack of sleep, intense physical activity, mental stress, or chronic illness. Fatigue can manifest in different ways, such as feeling tired, weak, or lacking energy, and it can affect both the body and the mind.

Physically, fatigue can lead to decreased performance in daily activities, reduced immune function, and an increased risk of injuries. Mentally, it can impair concentration, decision-making, and overall cognitive function. Emotionally, fatigue can contribute to feelings of irritability, depression, and anxiety.

There are different types of fatigue, including acute fatigue, which is short-term and often caused by recent physical or mental exertion, and chronic fatigue, which is long-term and can be associated with underlying medical conditions. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a well-known example of chronic fatigue, characterized by extreme fatigue that does not improve with rest and is not relieved by routine physical activity.

Managing fatigue involves addressing its underlying causes. This can include improving sleep hygiene, engaging in regular physical activity, managing stress, and seeking medical treatment if necessary. In some cases, lifestyle changes, such as reducing caffeine intake or avoiding screen time before bed, can also help alleviate fatigue.
