Still tired after doing nothing?

Have you ever had a day where you barely did anything —
and still felt completely exhausted?

That kind of tiredness is confusing.

You might tell yourself:

• “I rested — why do I feel worse?”
• “Other people recharge… why don’t I?”
• “Maybe I’m just unmotivated.”

But that explanation usually misses what’s actually happening underneath.

For a lot of people, exhaustion isn’t caused by doing too much.

It comes from what your system is carrying even when you stop —
staying alert, holding things together, monitoring yourself, staying “on.”

We’ve written a short piece that explores:

• why slowing down doesn’t always restore energy
• what invisible effort looks like
• and why this kind of exhaustion isn’t a personal failure
