Score 16
Exhaustion: the state of being exhausted.
Where exhausted is the state of having used all of someone's mental or physical energy : to be tired out or worn out (someone) completely; to be completely used up.
Exhaustion has the meaning of being completely "energyless", whereas words like lethargy and fatigue more closely mean "having little energy".
ANSWER 2
Score 12
Depending on the context, "Lethargy" may be a fit.

Similarly there is: "sluggishness", "listlessness", "lassitude" and "fatigue".
Surely one of these will fit.
UPDATE:
In light of clarifications, FATIGUE is the word you seek.
