Medication and alcohol and tiredness
The two causes people forget to count as causes.
A long list of common medicines has tiredness as a side effect — beta-blockers, antihistamines, some antidepressants, some blood-pressure drugs — and it can start when the dose changes. Alcohol is a sedative that fragments the second half of the night: even two drinks measurably reduce deep sleep, and regular evening drinking leaves people tired without ever feeling drunk.
The check is a medication list review with a pharmacist or doctor, and an honest alcohol count — including the "just one or two most evenings" pattern. A two-week alcohol break is the cheapest diagnostic test there is.

Review the medicine list; try two weeks without evening alcohol.
Uzziņai, nevis medicīnisks padoms. Ja nogurums progresē, ir neizskaidrojams vai nāk kopā ar svara zudumu, drudzi, nakts svīšanu vai elpas trūkumu, dodieties pie ārsta. Nekas šeit nenosaka diagnozi.
