How Brain Fog affects your thinking

When brain fog occurs, your mind feels hazy, foggy, or somehow not sharp and clear. You might have trouble thinking and concentrating, and you might feel distracted or inattentive.

Brain fog is often caused by stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, and other mental health issues, like anxiety and depression. However, It is not fully understood yet.

It is not a medical condition, but a phrase used to describe a range of symptoms, including:

Developing new skills.

Handling multiple tasks at once.

Thinking and responding rapidly.

Focusing and concentrating.

While it is normal to experience some fuzziness when you are sleep deprived, taking certain medications, jet-lagged, or pregnant, experiencing brain fog for longer than a few days (or months, in the case of pregnancy) may be a sign of a serious medical condition.

What can you do about it?
It's important to respect one's own limitations and avoid burnout. A strong support system is also important like speaking it out amongst the community.

Using diaries, calendars, Post-it notes, cell phone alarms, and to-do lists are all excellent ways to remind oneself.

Mind-boosting games such as word matching, puzzles, and crosswords can also be beneficial.
