here’s a more in-depth explanation of each sign of mental exhaustion and how it might show up in daily life:
1. Constant Fatigue
Mental exhaustion doesn’t always come from physical activity. You might sleep 8–9 hours and still wake up tired. The fatigue is often mental, not physical — like your brain never really “shuts off,” and you’re carrying emotional or cognitive stress around the clock.
👉 Example: You wake up and already feel drained. Even simple tasks like making breakfast feel overwhelming.
2. Lack of Motivation
