Why am I so tired? Vitamin D
6. Do you spend a lot of time indoors?
If your day is made up of waking up, getting in the car, working in an office or staying at home all day and then going to bed you probably don't get enough fresh air or sunshine.
Fresh air gives you oxygen and sunshine gives you vitamin D, both elements which boost your energy levels and wake you up. Both boost your immune system too so you're less likely to get colds, bugs and other illnesses which make you feel run down. Getting more fresh air can also help you sleep better once you get into bed.
Try getting out of the office at lunchtime or taking the kids for a walk. When it's warm enough open windows and doors too to let the air and sunshine go through your house.
