no energy
Running on empty
No energy describes a state of physical or mental exhaustion, lacking the vitality needed to act: I have no energy to cook tonight, She woke up with no energy.
The phrase often signals depletion rather than mere tiredness—suggesting reserves have run dry rather than just feeling sleepy.
