How can I stop being so tired?
The solution to a problem is often to reverse the cause, and the same is true in this instance.
To stop being so tired, you need to carve out some time for socialising every single day in lockdown.
Dr Senn said: “Humans are extremely sociable animals, and it’s clear from the above that without enough social interaction, our minds and bodies start to go on high alert bringing its own set of issues.
“Make sure you take time out each day for some form of social interaction.
“Those living alone should look to meet people at least once a week, as well as carving time out for those important calls.
“Yes, Zoom fatigue is real, but so too is the danger of a lack of social interaction and humans’ brains are literally wired to connect.”
Dr Senn recommends having a look at some of the brilliant UK initiatives and organisations to help support those who are suffering with loneliness, including Tackling Youth Loneliness, Campaign to End Loneliness, WaveLength and The CO-OP Foundation’s Belong.
The NHS also provides a portal complete with resources to help anyone suffering from loneliness, social isolation and those currently shielding.
