Consult Doc: Tiredness is a common symptom in so many disorders/diseases; hypothyroidism, anemia, depression, anxiety especially if you are sleeping well. I would advise you to get in touch with your pcp to start.

Tired Eye: Tired eyes are common. Trick is to rejuvenate tear film (has 3parts) apply heat to eyelids without burning your skin (hot towel in hot water; avoid pushing on eye); re-heating when towel gets cold (like hot towel push ups), it will open the meibomian gland and use artificial tears 4x/day. See eyemd otherwise. Good luck; see my blog for full instructions: step ladder approach for dry eye.
