Battling constant fatigue

what're your hours & overall health like?

any substances ? coffee is a substance too...

Sound like you may have mono. Try going to a doctors to get your blood tested.

I had similar symptoms. Blood tests show that I am anemic, with an acute Vit D deficiency. Iron and Vit. D tablets seem to have helped!

Like others have said, the fatigue may be tied to your overall health. A proper diet with lots of greens, routine exercise, and efficient sleep can do you wonders.

I will say that you might be getting hit hard because of the overall schedule. Your body has a natural sleep schedule that is regulated by your circadian rhythm and underpinned by regular hormonal patterns.

If you're not used to getting up and going to bed everyday at certain times there can be an adjustment period until you become entrained to the routine. It's pretty analogous to being jet lagged. Try playing around with when/how long you sleep and see if that improves your condition. It might sound counterintuitive but less sleep can actually be better. For example, I ALWAYS feel like shit if I sleep 7 hours but feel good if I get a little more than 6 hours in. This can also be affected by your sleep cycle as well.

In general, sleeping between 6.5 and 8.5 is ideal for an average person in the long run. Oversleep and you feel like shit. Stay up all night and you feel like shit.

Emotional exhaustion? If there's something going on in your life that's weighing on you emotionally (dislike work, stress, family, lovers) you could be emotionally exhausted.

Have you considered getting your T levels checked...?

You are probably iron deficient.

I would say start with a simple blood test / physical. It's easy and doesn't take much time, should be very telling. Immediate next step is making lifestyle adjustments. Too easy to run to a doctor assuming you are sick in some way, it's highly likely you are simply making a few poor lifestyle decisions that could be easily fixed. Best of luck.

PS I had certain vitamin deficiencies as mentioned above, specifically VitD and magnesium. Fixing that helped me a lot.

Not to be an ass, but you should use that search bar up on the top right of the screen. Aside from kids wondering their chances of getting in and what clothes are acceptable, this is one of the more common topics on this forum.

Get checked out w/ your doctor, have him/her run a blood test/analysis, at the very least for peace of mind. Assuming all's okay like others have said, your diet and what you put into your body for fuel has a bigger impact than you'd expect at your age.

If you're taking in a surplus of calories from processed, simple carbohydrates on a daily basis, for example, it will contribute to feeling tired and sluggish. Combine that with a lack of exercise and your metabolism can drop like a rock, again leading to decreased energy levels and increased fat stores.

As a junior banker, you're living a sedentary lifestyle sans any exercise. Being sedentary will naturally elevate your resting heart rate and can worsen the effects of stressful situations. It's tough finding time to get consistently to the gym or for a run working analyst hours, and this makes maintaining a healthy diet all the more important.

Try tracking what you eat, at the very least making mental notes, and minimize the number of carbohydrates you consume on a daily basis and restrict the carb's you do eat to complex sources like whole grain rice, sweet potatoes, black beans, etc. It's not as tasty and immediately satisfying (simple carb's digest much quicker and studies have shown they can trigger the release of serotonin). Give a more balanced, healthy meal plan a try for a few weeks and I bet you'll notice the impact on your overall well beeing and energy levels.
