Still tired on Monday after a weekend off?

Review weekend sleep timing, Sunday worries and fatigue that persists despite rest.

If Monday feels harder after sleeping late, compare your wake-up times as well as the number of hours you slept.

Notice the weekend shift

A much later weekend wake-up time can make Sunday bedtime harder. Try getting up near your usual time and taking a short morning walk.

Set work aside on Sunday evening

Write down Monday’s tasks instead of rehearsing them in bed. Notice whether late coffee to fight fatigue makes the next night harder.

When rest is not enough

Persistent fatigue, breathlessness, dizziness or unexplained weight change deserves assessment. Review sleep, other symptoms and health history before choosing supplements or herbal treatment.
