As the saying goes, your home is your sanctuary, a place where you feel comfortable and well-rested. Until it's not.
With the pandemic in the country for more than one and a half years, most of us have moved to working and studying at home for everyone's safety. This is where things get complicated. Most of us do not have the luxury to solely focus on our work when at home. We have distractions at hand: our chores, family, errands, and simply, our worries of the pandemic.
After another busy day of working and answering calls and emails while keeping up with the needs of the house, we finally go to bed to get some well-deserved rest. However, we somehow end up feeling tired when we wake up.
Sometimes you wonder to yourself, I don't endure long hours of commute anymore, but why am I still tired?
To help you find out, here are some real reasons why you still feel tired even though you're just at home.
1. It's too crowded.
Now that your family is at home, you get to spend more time with them and have more chances to bond at home. However, there are just times when you want to be alone, recharge your social battery, and appreciate the quiet of your own space. While a simple walk could easily fix this need, this proves to be a last resort due to our current situation.
2. You can't decorate or have your way with your space.
Before, working at home seemed like a dream. Not having to dress up for work and eating as you accomplish your tasks are some flexibilities that come along with this setup. However, sacrifices had to be made, especially when living with your family. Your bedroom becomes an improvised office, and sometimes you can't pass through your living room as one of your family members are in an online meeting.
This gives you a hard time relaxing as you associate your bedroom or family room with another purpose such as work and study. Studies show that having a computer or a work desk in your room creates an impact where your brain doesn't recognize a bedroom as a place for sleep, but rather a room for work or study.
3. You're at the age of independence, but it doesn't feel like it.
Be honest, this is not the #adulting life that you envisioned for yourself. When you stepped into adulthood and thought of gaining independence, you thought of going on trips, exploring new places, trying new things, and moving into your own space. Instead, you're at home, faced with the more boring parts of adulthood, paying for your share of the house every month and saving up for your future.
You're an adult now, but you only feel tired in your own home and the constant need of wanting your own space. Maybe it's the right time to move out?
If you feel like you're ready for the next step, maybe it's time to look for your own space and a community that elevates your lifestyle at an energetic and youthful pace.
