You would wonder how could sleeplessness be a problem?

Well if you don’t get sleep for one two days then it’s okay….but if it extends beyond that then it’s a big problem.

No physical work in the sense …….you have to sit on one place….. there’s no traveling only work from home ,school from home.

2. Too much of mental tensions –

Because no job /no work or too much of pressure on job because of meeting targets and fear of losing jobs.
