Unfortunately, I feel like this often. And it’s so frustrating because it impacts my productivity for the whole day because my energy levels are low. Thank you for writing about this.
Feeling tired even when you technically rested usually means the body is finally catching up to stress it has been carrying for years. Exhaustion is not always a sleep problem. It is often a survival problem. When your nervous system has lived in alert mode for too long, rest feels unfamiliar instead of restorative. What you wrote captures that truth so clearly. Real recovery starts when the body finally believes it is safe enough to let go.
