Any idea what might be causing it?  I'm only 31.  Just started to feel tired a year back and now I notice it more often.

Does this happen to you once you hit this age?  I feel like an old man!

Do you do any kind of sports ? Drink a lot (alcohol) ? overweight ?

Not trying to insult you but my crystal ball isnt working today. I'm 38 and can only say i feel better as ever. Good food, regular workouts and no alcohol help me with that.

31 is quite old

Could be many things... Maybe try taking multivitamins with added Iron? You could be Anemic, some of the symptoms for anemia is tiredness and lethargy. Either way, taking multivitamins will only do your body good in the long run.

It is definitely not due to your age.

Have you had a recent physical check-up? That would be the place to start and would tell if you were anemic or had other health issues.

If physical problems are excluded then you'll need to look at life-style (enough sleep? too much alcohol etc) and stress.

The OP needs to provide much more information. 31 isn't old so there will be a discernible cause.

I understand that you are just trying to help with good intentions but with all due respect, this is not an advisable suggestion especially for males (I'm assuming the OP is male because he said "I feel like an old man"). Men rarely have problems with iron especially because they don't menstruate and an overload of iron when unnecessary can cause a host of serious problems over time.

There could be several reasons why the OP is feeling tired. Perhaps a thorough medical check up is on order. Getting 8 hours of sleep every night, taking up activities especially sports as well as having healthy homemade food will likely make a huge difference if it's not being done already, like Robblok suggested.
