Help with energy

How does everyone find the energy to deal with day to day life?
I have a 3yo and a 8 month old responsibly well behaved, both good sleepers though get up at 6am.
Can’t complain though.

I just struggle no matter what with energy levels, I have no motivation, I just am constantly tired and since having my second it’s even worst.
I feel like the worst mother, as I just don’t have the energy I use to and don’t play or do as much we I use to with our oldest.
The house is kept cleaned etc, but other then that I just want to lay around all day cos I’m so exhausted.
I work a few nights a week, and am meant to be studying which I have no motivation whatsoever right now to do but need to.
I just want to sleep constantly.

I don’t even know how to get myself out of this rut.

My first thought would be to see your GP and request a blood test. There are many physical reasons you could be having troubles with energy levels. Anemia or low iron, thyroid issues, in undetected infection, a vitamin deficiency, hormonal issues. Definitely rule all these issues out as well as maybe considering if it's mental health related.
Bit overall, GP is who you want to speak to. Good luck!
