Lethargy
Lethargy is a state of tiredness, sleepiness, weariness,
alcohol. It may also be an altered level of consciousness.[1]
When part of a normal response, lethargy often resolves with rest, adequate sleep, decreased stress, physical exercise, and good nutrition.[2] Lethargy's symptoms however can last days or even months,[3] so it can be a sign of a recent underlying illness or infection if it doesn't resolve normally.
