Homonym: sluggishness (Lethargy)
Sluggishness refers to a state of being slow or lacking energy. It can affect both physical movement and mental processes, making tasks feel more challenging. People experiencing sluggishness may find it hard to concentrate, react quickly, or maintain motivation throughout the day.
This condition can be caused by various factors, including lack of sleep, poor diet, or certain medical conditions. For instance, hypothyroidism can lead to feelings of sluggishness due to a slowed metabolism. Addressing the underlying causes, such as improving sleep quality or nutrition, can help alleviate this feeling and restore energy levels.
