The impact of Covid-19 on mental health is just as daunting as its physical repercussions. The toll of isolation, uncertain futures, unemployment, and the rollercoaster of emotions have left many with lockdown fatigue. Feelings of anxiety and bouts of depression are observed around the world and instead of feeling safe, secure, and well-rested in our homes, our sleeping patterns are disrupted and as environmental psychologist Lee Chambers tells Vogue, the feelings of constant fatigue are growing increasingly common. Without proper sleep, physical tiredness, headaches, and muscle tension will follow and even our emotions will be even harder to keep in check. Chambers explains that a consistent sleep routine will help keep our energy up and will help balance our hormones and emotions. Disconnecting from technology and media will help you relax and wind down. In addition, you can use sleeping apps to help regulate your sleeping pattern. Here are some of the best sleeping apps to help you beat lockdown fatigue.
