About this test
Have you ever slept eight hours and still woken up exhausted? Sleep is essential, but it isn't the only kind of rest your body and mind need.
Choose the answers that best describe your tiredness lately.
The types of rest
Physician Saundra Dalton-Smith proposes that there are several types of rest: physical, mental, sensory, emotional, social, creative and spiritual. When we only rest our body but our fatigue is mental or emotional, we keep feeling drained.
Identifying the type of rest you need lets you choose the right break: a nap, a screen-free afternoon, a walk in nature, an honest conversation or time alone.
