Story summary
A recent CDC study published by NBC shows that more than half of women reported feeling fatigued "some days," with almost 20% experiencing it daily. The survey involved nearly 27,000 adults aged 18 and older, conducted in 2024. Sociologist Natalie A.E. Young stated that people who frequently feel fatigued are more likely to experience additional symptoms like cognitive difficulties, depression, and anxiety, which can hinder their daily functioning. Jennifer Caspari, a clinical psychologist, attributed the higher fatigue levels among women to greater responsibilities and hormonal fluctuations compared to men. She noted that people generally feel overwhelmed due to stress and time constraints, leading to widespread feelings of fatigue affecting overall well-being.
