but managing it is in our control, says fatigue physician
Collapsing in a heap each evening? Struggling to haul yourself out of bed in the morning? You're not alone if you feel a curious case of fatigue creeping back into your life.
After pandemic-induced stress and government-sanctioned time at home away from social events, ubiquitous family gatherings and - for some - even the office, humans are struggling to recalibrate to our old way of life.
But Andrew Lloyd from the University of New South Wales fatigue clinic says the cure is well within our control.
The infectious disease epidemiologist says exhaustion and a lack of energy can be categorised as either pathological or non-pathological.
That is, there is something wrong with your physiology, like an infection, or you just need to rest.
"From a medical perspective when we're talking about fatigue, it's important we're talking on the same wavelength as the patient," Lloyd said.
