Its common for people especially those employed to get fatigued or super tired from time to time, but this can be part of an actual disease.

Adrenal fatigue is a condition where your body and adrenal glands can’t keep up with the tremendous amount of daily stress many people experience. An episode of acute stress or prolonged, chronic stress can cause adrenal glands to become overloaded and ineffective leading to the improper release of cortisol. In 1998, Dr James L. Wilson, a naturopath and chiropractor proposed it as a new condition   His assumption was that an overstimulation of the adrenal glands (or “adrenals”) by chronic stress over time could lead to an inconsistent level of cortisol (the stress hormone) in the bloodstream, sometimes far more than normal and at other times, far too low.
