I work in a hospital.
I suggest you get your iron levels tested - this can be done by a simple blood test.
A lack of iron can and will leave people very lathargic.
However, it can also be a sign of depression.
You need to be sure you eat correctly and include enough vitamins and minerals in your diet (if need be take suppliments), and try to find a routine for your sleep.
1st reccomendation, see your GP and get your iron levels tested.
Good luck

yea it could be lots of things.........try some vitamins and make sure your eating right go to bed early and exercise everyday.....Weakness and Fatigue
Topic Overview
Weakness and fatigue are terms that are often used as if they mean the same thing, but in fact they describe two different sensations. It is important to know exactly what you mean when you say "I feel weak" or "I am fatigued" because it can help you and your health professional narrow down the possible causes of your symptoms.
Weakness is a lack of physical or muscle strength and the feeling that extra effort is needed to perform daily activities that require you to move your arms, legs, or other muscles.
Fatigue is a feeling of tiredness, exhaustion, or lack of energy.
Both weakness and fatigue are symptoms, not diseases. Because these symptoms can be caused by many other health problems, the importance of weakness and fatigue can only be determined when other symptoms are evaluated.
Weakness
General weakness often occurs after you have done too much activity at one time, such as by taking an extra-long hike. You may feel weak and tired, or your muscles may be sore. These sensations usually go away within a few days.
In rare cases, generalized muscle weakness may be caused by another health problem, such as:
Problems with the thyroid gland, which regulates the way the body uses energy.
A low thyroid level (hypothyroidism) can cause fatigue, weakness, lethargy, weight gain, depression, memory problems, constipation, dry skin, intolerance to cold, coarse and thinning hair, brittle nails, or a yellowish tint to the skin.
A high thyroid level (hyperthyroidism) can cause fatigue, weight loss, increased heart rate, intolerance to heat, sweating, irritability, anxiety, muscle weakness, and thyroid enlargement.
Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare nerve disorder that causes weakness in the legs, arms, and other muscles and that can progress to complete paralysis.
Myasthenia gravis, a rare, chronic disorder that causes weakness and rapid muscle fatigue.
A problem with the minerals (electrolytes) found naturally in the body, such as low levels of potassium or sodium.

Try going to bed at a good time in the evening, and maybe taking a warm bath before bed to help relax you and get you ready to sleep. Try and get at least 8 hours of sleep per night and upon waking, get up slow, and sit on the bed, do some stretching exercises. Be sure to take a multi-vitamin daily/ and get at least 30 minutes of exercise each day or every other day. Be sure to check with your family doctor to rule out ANY and ALL other possibilities for you tiredness and ask him/her about what kind of vitamins would work best for you.
Hope you get to feeling better soon and good luck!!

It could many things. It could be stress, diet (missing vitamins), too much sleep. It might be that you are just catching up on all the sleep that you have missed. Like maybe you are a go go go person and now you have the chance to slow down. I would just go with it. If it contiues to bother you I would see a doctor just in case better safe than sorry!

you could have iron deficiency anemia, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome or maybe you might be getting enough sleep but not quality sleep. I would get these things checked by a physician .
