When you don’t know what it is to take a book, or a bath, without interruptions, you’re doing yourself an injustice. You’ve got to make time for hobbies and what makes you happy to remain on track.

4. Everything Feels Like a Chore

If you find regular parenting duties, such as feeding or cleaning, becoming stressful, you’re burnt out. A few days away from the everyday is going to give you a boost to tackle the day.

5. You Forget Things Often

When you forget everything about your appointments, your children’s school functions or even home chores, mental fatigue is at work. Sleeping and recharge will give you more of a focus and memory.
