I went through a similar fatigued state last spring... or maybe it was the year before that. Regardless, I eventually figured out that I just wasn't getting enough sleep, which all ties in to letting the body recover. I used to be able to function normally with not much sleep, and I still can, if it's not going to be a physically demanding day. Not much sleep *and* physically demanding is a no-go in my 40s, though
