Staying inside during home quarantine lowers our exposure to sunlight which can throw off our body\u2019s natural rhythms. This is why some of us find that our sleep\/wake cycle is disrupted \u2013 which can impact our focus, and make us feel out of sorts. Exercise can help! Even short bouts of physical activity can do wonders for your energy \u2013 so get up, stretch, and move your body!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
