After a hard or a busy day, fatigue will wear you down, and you need to rest.  Fatigue is a sign that your body is exhausted and if you don’t sleep, you will have a problem with catching up with your daily life.  At times, you need more than the rest because it may be difficult even to sleep; hence you should get a good body cleanse to do away with any toxins affecting body function.  Most people will take coffee to fight fatigue, but this temporarily takes away the feeling of tiredness but ultimately drains your adrenal glands.
