Periods of high stress.
Periods of intense work activity and periods of intense study (for example, around school and university exams).
Non-pathological deficiencies of minerals and vitamins: a diet that is not exactly balanced and poor in vitamins and minerals, as well as an increase in the consumption of these nutrients by the body could lead to a condition of exhaustion.
Irregular lifestyle (for example, constant overtime eating, sleep deprivation, etc.).
Environmental conditions: very hot and humid climates favor the appearance of fatigue, making it difficult to maintain concentration and carry out work and school activities.
