Transient fatigue is acute fatigue brought on by extreme sleep restriction or extended hours awake within 1 or 2 days. Cumulative fatigue is fatigue brought on by repeated mild sleep restriction or extended hours awake across a series of days. Circadian fatigue refers to the reduced performance during nighttime hours, particularly during an individualâs âwindow of circadian lowâ (WOCL) (typically between 2:00 a.m. and 05:59 a.m.).

I'm dealing with typhoid right now and was wondering if it's okay to masturbate. Is it harmless or should I avoid it while I'm sick?
