4. Shortness of Breath Keeps You Awake at Night and You Feel Tired the Next Day

If you suffer from emphysema, asthma, or chronic bronchitis, your tissues may not receive adequate amounts of oxygen. This leads to fatigue. In addition, you may have increased coughing and difficulty breathing when you lie down. The combination of poor sleep and reduced oxygen levels may result in mild to severe fatigue. Consult with your health care provider if you have COPD, asthma or other respiratory illnesses. Get a check-up if you think that you may be suffering from any breathing disorder. Try sleeping in a recliner or in bed with your head propped up on several pillows.
