I feel so tired after half a day of work, never mind working a full day. After a couple of weeks of this, when i get home, i have no energy left for anything. Even things I usually enjoy.

Everything feels like a drag at that point and I can’t seem to do anything to improve this.

Doing this for a few more months usually ends up with me having to quit my job or i will get so tired and sick I can’t do anything anymore.

How to deal with this?

    How do you do this at work though? Is nobody going to find it strange or all about it when you take such a break?

    And how to actually have the break if you are in a busy/loud/uncomfortable environment?

    I think i could build in some more breaks when working from home, but at work it’s almost impossible. I just don’t feel safe/comfortable at work, so I can’t really take a proper break.

      We have a dedicated short rest room. But I have also done it common area or at my desk.

      I wear my good friend, noice canceling headphones.

      I can understand that you don’t feel safe/comfortable. How do you get comfortable with something new if you don’t try?

        I think it’s more the feeling that somebody will call me out when resting, or that I might miss something important, or unfamiliarity with the people around me.

        At work i already feel like I’m constantly alert. Trying to sing anything that make me look like a bad employee.

        Until my energy runs out of course. Then I usually still force myself to keep working, but everything goes at a glacial pace and my tiredness just accumulates even further.
