Aussies embracing new ‘JOMO’ trend for better sleep: ‘Reduces fatigue’
“JOMO is a trend that has largely been fuelled by the rising awareness of personal self-care and mental health,” Jaimie Bloch – Clinical Director and Founder at MindMovers Psychology – told Yahoo Lifestyle. “I do believe this has increased in popularity since COVID. During the pandemic, many people had to slow down and this led to a collective rethink of priorities.
“Pausing is good for our nervous system,” Jaimie explains. “Focusing on self-care and doing things that replenish you rather than deplete you can lower anxiety and stress. JOMO is about shifting the focus from what you might be missing to what you genuinely enjoy. Physically, embracing JOMO can lead to better sleep, a brighter mood, and reduced fatigue, as it often means stepping back from the demands of life. It gives you more time to engage in restorative activities, which are vital for overall health.”
