Knowing how to rest and when to rest

I get this wrong all the time

There’s a very difficult balance getting the right amount of rest at weekends especially

If I don’t do it properly the beginning of the working week is very painful

The nurse says gaming is still rest but I am not sure about that

Whether games are rest or not depends on the game.

tbh i dont think gaming is rest. i think its recreation which is like mental rest in a way… its play… similar to casual socializing, but its certainly not bodily rest. it used your eyes and can physically exaust someone being physically on edge for hours with adrenaline running through your body.

So i think its separate from bodily rest…. which is important… one thing i wanted to add and that i think might help you is… not only seeking rest but doing things that help your body rest: Massage, taking meds, sauna, showering, hygiene etc… all put you in a place where when its time to rest, to where you CAN.
