Whoa! You need to see a doctor about this. The folks on this forum can't run tests or even examine you, and chronic tiredness is an especially hard thing to diagnose. Here are a few possibilities, but there are lots more!
Thyroid problems: If your thyroid is underactive, you will feel tired. Your hair may thin as well or your skin may get dry. (But not necessarily.) The only "cure" is to take a pill a day for the rest of your life, but (with annual fine tuning) this works well.
Sleep apnea: Has anyone said you snore like a freight train? Tiredness and loud snoring often mean you have obstructive sleep apnea. If you snore, get an appointment with a sleep clinic right away, as apnea can damage your heart--even kill you! The usual treatment is a CPAP machine, set especially to your sepcifications, to aid in night breathing. Surgery has a poor success rate, but CPAP works well for most of us.
Eyestrain: How long since you've had an eye exam? New glasses can work wonders with your energy levels.
Anemia: Can be caused by poor diet, poor absorption, or other factors.
Depression: Tiredness is one of the classic symptoms.
Infections, allergies, tumors, etc, etc: Lots and lots of things cause tiredness--it's a general red-flag symptom that SOMETHING is amiss.
That's why a doctor, not an on-line answer group, needs to be consulted.

Um the first thing that comes to mind is sleep deprivation. Are you sleeping 8-10 hours a nighjt? if not, thats you problem. Your body needs sleep at night. Maybe a 15 to 30 minute nap would help right now. No more than thirty minutes though other wise extend it to 1and a half hours to complete a sleep cycle.
If these dont work maybe you have a sleep disorder Like sleep apnea or sleep walking, you should see your doctor.
