lethargic
Drained of energy
Lethargic describes a state of sluggishness, drowsiness, or lack of energy.
Someone who feels lethargic has little motivation to move or act, as if weighed down by fatigue.
I felt lethargic all afternoon after that heavy lunch.
The word can describe both physical tiredness and mental dullness, and often suggests an abnormal or concerning level of inactivity rather than ordinary tiredness.
