Don’t worry, it’s not just you.

A new study revealed that many Americans are having trouble remembering what day of the week it is while working from home and self-isolating during the coronavirus pandemic. With very few reasons to leave the house, it seems that some people are struggling with staying motivated.

The survey was conducted by OnePoll on behalf of RXBAR, South West News Service (SWNS) reported. According to the results, 59 percent of the people involved in the study were unsure of what day it was when they were answering the questions.

Of the 2,000 respondents, people were reportedly confused as to what day it is an average of five times a week. Additionally, 80 percent reported feeling that the days were starting to blur together, likely from being indoors so much.

Staying inside is apparently having other effects on people as, well. According to the survey, nearly three-quarters of the respondents said they had given up on “real clothes” during periods of self-isolation. Instead, they reported wearing items such as sweat pants and loungewear instead.
