  I agree. Great response. So much advice a person like this would receive would be "do this" or "do that." If you don't have the urge to do anything perhaps that is a good thing. Your mind/body is trying to tell you something. It may be time to take a break. There's nothing wrong with that. We all sleep at night and sometimes we need more rest at points of our lives. Humans are not linear. We are more suited to a cycle of up and down rather than a straight, linear way of life. When we're sick, the best way to get better is to rest. I know this isn't a popular opinion for a place like HN or even America in general. You said you tried meditating but can't stand it for more than 5 minutes. There are other forms of activities that can get you into a meditative-like state. For me, this could be reading or walking for the sake of walking.
