Quarantine Fatigue: Understanding and Overcoming Exhaustion
Quarantine life has left many feeling unusually tired, with both physical and mental factors contributing to this fatigue. A study, though the author and year are unknown, explored these psychological impacts. Understanding these factors can help manage and overcome this exhaustion.
Initially, the first week of quarantine may bring low mood and loneliness, which is a normal part of adaptation. However, as time progresses, a full adaptation to this new lifestyle typically occurs around three months later. Maintaining a regular daily routine can help avoid anxiety and loss of motivation during this period.
Psychological stress from Covid-19 and the monotony of quarantine can cause tiredness. Many people under quarantine report feeling more tired and going to bed earlier than usual, with even night owls now retiring at 10 pm. To combat this, setting goals and staying optimistic about the future can help reduce anxiety and fatigue. Observing driven individuals can also provide inspiration to maintain energy levels and structure daily life. Exercise has been found to be particularly beneficial in breaking the cycle of anxiety and fatigue caused by the pandemic.
Understanding the psychological factors contributing to fatigue during quarantine is key to managing it. Maintaining routines, setting goals, staying active, and observing motivated individuals can all help combat this tiredness. As quarantine continues, it's important to remember that adaptation takes time and that feeling tired initially is a normal part of the process.
