Description
If you’re feeling tired and rundown: you’re not alone.

Steve Joordens, psychology professor at the University of Toronto Scarborough, talks to “This Matters” host Adrian Cheung about the fatigue we’re all facing, what “staring at the bear” does to your brain and strategies on how to re-fill your mental ‘tank’ through the pandemic.
