tiredness
Need for sleep
Tiredness is the state of feeling weary or fatigued, wanting rest or sleep.
It can be physical—from exertion or lack of sleep—or mental, from sustained concentration or emotional strain.
The tiredness hit her as soon as she sat down.
Unlike exhaustion, tiredness suggests a milder, more ordinary depletion that rest can remedy.
