• Difficulty focusing on work or conversations

• Taking longer to process information

• Mental exhaustion by mid-day

• Poor concentration despite adequate sleep

Sleep & Energy

• Waking up exhausted despite sleeping 8+ hours

• Feeling wired at bedtime but dragging by noon

• Afternoon crashes that send you searching for caffeine

• Random bursts of energy late at night

Mood & Mental State
