Is it normal to not want to go to work?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes—lots of people have days when they’d rather not go to work. If that feeling is constant or getting heavier, it may be a sign that something about the job needs attention.

Absolutely. Work can be tiring, boring, stressful, or just less appealing than staying home in comfy clothes. Not feeling excited to go in doesn’t mean you’re lazy or doing anything wrong.

If you dread work most days, though, it’s worth asking what’s behind it: the workload, your boss, the schedule, or the job itself. You don’t have to love your work, but you deserve to notice when it’s taking too much out of you.
