if your blood pressure is normal either you have anemia or electrolyte problem or depression if necessary do a complete work up

Many cause can contribute for this ,try to wach for a deep normal sleep at night it is not by the qauntity "'how much you sleep"" but the quality of sleep"" deep uninterrupted sleep""
if your sleep is interrupted (because of sleep apnea ,nasal obstruction ,acute illness,...)you will suffer sleepiness at the day even if you slept at night 10 hours .
Being healthy and having the necessary energy for daily life is based on several things in general diet,sleep ,relaxation and exercise.
more stress ,change in diet ,change in exercise,change in sleep,recent infection or any infection or virus caught ,allergy,......watch for other signs other than tiredness to figure what probable cause is .Watch for these causes if any is recently changed in your habits then it might be the cause .
The most common reasons for feeling tired are about daily habits.
1. What you eat. Reaching for caffeine and sugar can backfire, leaving you more fatigued as your blood sugar levels fluctuate wildly.
2. How much you sleep.avoid caffeine and alcohol in the hours just before bedtime, turn off the TV before bed, and keep your bedroom quiet and restful.
3. How much you exercise.,excercise moderately if you exercise more than your body can tolerate you will feel tired
Chronic tiredness is linked to many different medical conditions, such as:
4. Anemia. This is a very common cause of fatigue and very easy to check with a simple blood test You can remedy anemia with an iron-rich diet, heavy in meats and dark, leafy greens, or supplements if you have a chronic iron deficiency.
A blood test can diagnose anaemia, and doctors will normally recommend supplements along with dietary advice. If your blood count is at the low end of normal, but not anaemic, boosting your iron intake could make you feel better.
5. Deficiencies in key nutrients, such as potassium. Again, this is easily checked with blood testing.
6. Thyroid problems. Over- and under-active thyroids both can cause fatigue,A blood test for your level of thyroid-stimulating hormone can help evaluate your thyroid function.
7. Diabetes. People who have uncontrolled diabetes,If you feel draggy and you're also having blurred vision or lots of urination, you should get that checked with a blood test.
8. Depression.
9. Sleep problems. Snoring can be part of obstructive sleep apnea, in which people briefly stop breathing several times a night. There are treatments for that.
10. Undiagnosed heart disease. If you have trouble with exercise you used to do easily, or if you start feeling worse when you exercise, this could be a red flag for heart trouble. If you have any doubts, see your doctor.
But again, start with the basics: your sleep, your diet, and your activity level. Sometimes the simplest fixes are all it takes.if nothing work then check with a doctor to do blood tests and then know initially what the cause.
