Have you wondered why you're feeling so tired during the coronavirus pandemic and can't put your finger on why?
People up and down the country have taken to social media to report of total exhaustion - different to the symptom that others have felt before coming down with the virus.
Despite spending many more hours at home it seems that a lot of us seem to be getting more and more tired.
It comes as the coronavirus pandemic has profoundly disrupted the ways in which we live and work, meaning many of us have had to adapt to spending a lot less time out of the house.
But despite not having to commute and unable to visit the gym or social spaces, reports of exhaustion have spread online.
Writer Rachel Syme tweeted: “For someone who hasn't really been outside in almost 20 days i sure am the most exhausted i've ever been in my entire life.”
And money blogger Charlotte Burns tweeted: “I am shattered. You'd think a lockdown would mean it's quiet.
"Honestly, it's been absolute carnage for over a week now. I'm mentally exhausted.”
But this is normal in this unusual situation, according to Jackie Rogers, a counsellor at the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
She said: “We’re all having to adapt, there’s so many changes.
“It’s really important to be compassionate, you’re tired because you’re stressed, whether you feel it or not.
“Your body is under stress because it’s not doing the normal things.
“It’s not doing the normal routine, you’re not commuting to work or carrying out the school run.
“You haven’t got that hustle and bustle of people who you met on the way to work, even if you didn’t speak to them.
“We’re all quite regimented and so it’s about creating a new routine.
“Generally being at home is where we relax, but now we are here 24/7."
How we can respond to this stress depends on our personal circumstances, said Jackie.
She said: “It’s about a change in routine and I think a lot of it is down to stress.
“We all know about ‘fight and flight’ and how we can be ready to run or get angry.
“But not many people know about the ‘freeze and flop’ response, like when a rabbit freezes in headlights or a sloth pretends to be dead.
“So it could be the fact that when we’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s like we have this cut-off switch in our brain and you’ve put too many plugs in and the switch goes.
“It’s because your body is getting exhausted and creating that adrenaline.
“So your body is fighting whilst you might not be doing anything.
“Even though you may not be feeling stressed, look around you, there’s lots of stress going around.
“There’s also a lot of loss going around, not just in terms of people dying.
“Everybody is experiencing a bereavement - a loss of freedom, routine and your normal day.
“If you’ve ever grieved, you feel tired and when things are out of your control or changed, it can be like a loss.”
If people are struggling with feeling “hopeless” or “detached”, then there are ways to cope and try to make the best of the situation.
Jackie said: “You can try and flip the thinking. “So instead of thinking ‘oh God, I’m in a queue at the supermarket’, try and think about how it's a moment you can stand outside.
“It’s about mindfulness, when you feel that you can’t concentrate, it’s good to stop and take a deep breath in for seven seconds and then breathing out for eleven.
“Even working from home, try to walk around the house and go into the garden or stick your head out the window.
“It’s really important to get fresh air, otherwise you can feel lethargic.”
Currently, Brits have been told that they can only visit the shops when they need essential supplies or if they have a medical appointment.
Exercise once a day is also recommended although people have been urged to only travel by foot.
And pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops were ordered to close over a week ago.
The lockdown is set to run for three weeks initially but government officials have warned that it could last up to six months in a bid to prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed.
It comes as England's death toll has risen to 1,651 after a further 367 people died from the coronavirus.
The patients were aged between 19 and 98 years old and all but 28 of them had underlying health conditions.
But NHS England said the 19-year-old victim did not have underlying health conditions.
There are now 25,150 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK.
