What kind of rester are you?

When you're worn out, which kind of rest actually recharges you.

12 items · About 2 min

This is a fun quiz: a playful angle on yourself, not a psychological measurement.

How to answerThink back to the last few times you felt worn out. How much does each statement sound like you? Go with your first instinct.

  1. After a long day, what I want most is a room where no one will bother me.
  2. When something is weighing on me, a walk outside helps more than lying down.
  3. When something is bugging me, venting to a friend takes half the weight off.
  4. When I'm doing something I love (a puzzle, drawing, gaming, cooking…), I lose track of time and forget I'm tired.
  5. If my weekend is booked for days in a row, I end up feeling drained.
  6. After a good sweat, my head feels clearer.
  7. If I've been on my own for a while, I start wanting to talk to someone, even just small talk.
  8. Focusing on one small thing relaxes me more than doing nothing at all.
  9. Zoning out quietly or listening to the rain is enough to slowly bring me back.
  10. If I sit for too long I get restless and need to move.
  11. A meal and a chat with someone close restores me more than a nap on my own.
  12. I have a hobby or two I can get completely lost in.

About this quiz

Everyone gets tired, but some people want to be alone, some want to get outside and some want to talk it through. This quiz helps you see which kind of rest recharges you most, so you can reach for it next time. No type is better than another, and most people use a mix.
