Based on a 2024 survey of approximately 27,000 adults, the data shows that 71.5% of U.S. adults reported experiencing fatigue at least some days over a three-month period. The prevalence of frequent fatigue is higher among women and younger adults aged 18-34. Researchers define the condition as physical or mental exhaustion that does not improve with sleep or rest. The study also noted higher rates of fatigue among residents in the South and Midwest regions. Subsequent analysis suggests that this widespread exhaustion may be compounded by modern global challenges, including the climate crisis and the advancement of artificial intelligence. Natalie A.E. Young, the lead author of the survey, noted that fatigue has become one of the most frequently reported health concerns in primary care consultations in the United States. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-30: Human exhaustion rises amid climate crisis and AI advancement Rapidly accelerating global issues like climate change and AI are contributing to widespread mental and physical fatigue, with a CDC survey finding over 70 percent of US adults report feeling exhausted. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/human-exhaustion-rises-amid-climate-crisis-and-ai-advancement ### 2026-09-14: CDC report finds high fatigue rates among young U.S. adults and women A CDC report finds that 71.5% of U.S. adults experienced fatigue in 2024, with women and adults aged 18-34 reporting the highest frequencies of exhaustion. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cdc-report-finds-high-fatigue-rates-among-young-us-adults-and-women --- Cite as: U.S. adult fatigue prevalence trends.
