The solution for this -- try as much as possible to go to bed relaxed and have a good quality sleep. Taking a nice, warm bath and listening to relaxing music help as well. Meditation and yoga can also help take away stress and tiredness. If you keep your mind and body relaxed, you'll have a good night's sleep so you'll likely wake up feeling refreshed.
Unhealthy lifestyle choices can also make you very tired. This has got to do with
bad sleeping habits, lack of or improper exercise, poor diet or malnutrition, intake of alcohol and drugs, and others.
