1. Mental Fatigue Is Replacing Physical Fatigue
In the past, exhaustion came from physical labor.
Today, it comes from constant mental stimulation.
Emails, notifications, decisions, and information overload keep the brain working nonstop.
The brain never truly rests.
2. Constant Screen Exposure
Phones, laptops, and TVs dominate modern life.
Excessive screen time:
- Disrupts sleep cycles
- Reduces deep rest
- Overstimulates the nervous system
Even when the body rests, the brain stays active.
3. Poor Sleep Quality (Not Just Sleep Time)
Many people sleep enough hours but still feel exhausted.
That’s because sleep quality matters more than sleep duration.
Stress, blue light, late-night scrolling, and irregular schedules reduce deep sleep.
4. Chronic Stress Has Become Normal
Stress used to be temporary.
Now, it’s constant.
Financial pressure, job insecurity, social comparison, and global uncertainty keep the nervous system in survival mode.
Chronic stress drains energy faster than physical work.
