Symptom 3. Fatigue
Fatigue is a common symptom of SAD that can impact your ability to function in your daily life. You may feel like you’re constantly tired or have low energy levels. Even after a good night’s sleep, you may still feel exhausted and unmotivated.
Fatigue can make it challenging to complete daily tasks, such as going to work or school, caring for your family, or exercising. You may find yourself canceling plans or avoiding social situations because you’re too tired to participate.
If you’re experiencing fatigue, it’s essential to prioritize rest and self-care. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep each night and incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. Even a short walk or gentle yoga can help boost your energy levels and improve your mood. (4)
