Sleeping disorder

The pandemic has disturbed my sleep. During the quarantine, I did not have to do much except for sleep and doing my homework. Since my school was doing the asynchronous study, I stayed undisciplined to myself. I sleep whenever I want to and started staying up late. For the whole summer, my sleeping routine had totally changed. I slept during the day and stayed up at night. Because I slept too much, I even skipped meals and had lost so much weight during that time. Due to this unhealthy lifestyle of mine, my health has deteriorated a lot. Once school started, I was having trouble with falling asleep at night. It felt like I was having jet lag. Therefore, every time I went to school, every step I walked felt so heavy, and I was always in a state of sleepiness, and loss of concentration. Even now, I still find it difficult to sleep for many days. I also lost my appetite for food and exhaustion keeps following me until these days. The reason that leads me to this action, I think, is because of all the boredom I felt during the pandemic. All I could do was hang around my room. I was lack of vitamin D because I barely walked out in the sun. Moreover, I lived far from my parents and I completely had no energy to do things or to find things. No one was there to encourage me or talk to me. I was with a host family by that time but we rarely talked so I would rather lock myself in the room and sleep through the day. When things started opening back up, I figured many people have also had the same issue as me. So in conclusion, the pandemic has caused sleeping disorders in many people.
