==Description==

==Description==

Fatigue (also called exhaustion, lethargy, languidness, languor, '''lassitude''', and listlessness) is a [[state]] of [[awareness]]. It can describe a range of afflictions, varying from a general state of lethargy to a specific [[work]]-induced burning sensation within one's muscles. It can be both [[physical]] and [[mental]]. Physical fatigue is the inability to continue [[functioning]] at the level of one's [[normal]] [[abilities]]. It is [[ubiquitous]] in everyday life, but usually becomes particularly noticeable during heavy [[exercise]]. [[Mental]] fatigue, on the other hand, rather [[manifests]] in somnolence  ([[sleep]]iness).

Fatigue is considered a [[symptom]], as opposed to a medical sign, because it is reported by the patient instead of being [[observed]] by others. Fatigue and ‘[[feelings]] of fatigue’ are often confused.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lassitude]
