Lethargic, Unmotivated. Whats Going On?

I often feel very lethargic and unmotivated. I try to study but my mind feels constantly blank and all I have enough attention span for is laying in bed with the tv on. I've tried changing my environment and drinking coffee to wake me up but I just don't feel well. I feel lethargic enough to just lay in bed and watch the ceiling fan spin all day, even though I have so much to do. What's going on with me?

Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Lack of interest in subject may be the reason of your problem. It will be better to structure your routine.

Following steps will help you:
-Daily morning brisk walk for 30 min.
-Stop substance use (if present). Substance like cannabis lead to amotivation.
-Try to study with colleagues. You can also plan to study in nearby library.
-Take healthy diet: Milk, eggs and fruits.
-Involve yourself in some sport.

Wish you good health and all the best.

Regards,
