Recognize the Signs of Burnout
Chronic fatigue, cynicism, detachment, and a sense of inefficacy are warning signs. If you feel this, you need a break, not more coffee.

Structure gives safety. Wake up at the same time, eat regular meals, and have a fixed 'clock-off' time. Protect your sleep at all costs.
Social Connection

University Support
Every UK university has a counseling and wellbeing service. They are there for you. Don't hesitate to reach out if you are struggling.
