The 7-day holiday has just ended
Have you rested well?
Did you on your first day of work
As soon as I used my brain, I was tired, and I fell asleep without lying down
It is clearly spurring yourself to grit your teeth and persist and work hard
But I just can't move

It's a tiring situation where you feel tired of doing anything
It may not be that you are weak-willed
Nor is it lazy by nature
It's that the energy bar has already bottomed out
"Hidden fatigue" is quietly accumulating
fatigue
It's the body that is "starved of electricity".
The operation of the human body is like a rechargeable battery, which is in a dynamic balance of "charging" and "energy consumption" for 24 hours. Fatigue is a watch face that reminds you how much power you have, and the less power you have, the stronger the fatigue. When the battery level drops to a critical point, the body sends a warning to the brain to enter the "power saving mode" and recharge it in time.
Under normal circumstances, fatigue can indeed be used as a more accurate indicator of our physical state. However, fatigue is also a subjective experience that integrates multiple dimensions such as physical and psychological factors, so it is not always accurate, but often wrong.
When a person is in a state of "high consumption, low supplementation" for a long time, it is easy to forget what it is like to be "not tired".
Putting the body in the limit state of "low energy, high operation" for a long time will not only exacerbate the accumulation of fatigue, but also pose a serious threat to health.

How to judge
Do you have "hidden fatigue"?
1. Frequent brain fog and difficulty concentrating
When we feel that our brain is sluggish, our thinking is stuck, and our memory is lost, as if our brain is shrouded in a hazy fog, we may be in a state of "brain fog".

Brain fog and latent fatigue may manifest each other, i.e., brain fog may be an external manifestation of latent fatigue; They may also be mutually triggered, i.e., a state of hidden fatigue that may exacerbate symptoms of brain fog.
2. Restlessness and boredom easily
When the body is in a state of fatigue, people may feel upset and mood swings become greater. In addition, since brain function is affected by fatigue, people tend to lose patience and interest in things, and even things that they usually enjoy can become boring and boring.
It is important to note that these two emotional states may further exacerbate fatigue and form a vicious cycle.

3. Fall asleep halfway through and wake up in the middle of the night
When you find yourself doing some daily activities, such as watching TV or taking the subway, you will fall asleep unconsciously, which is likely to indicate that your body is overtired. This phenomenon of "falling asleep halfway" is a forced rest measure taken to protect oneself when brain fatigue reaches a certain level.
Another situation is that you can't sleep when you are extremely tired, and you often can't sleep well when you are extremely tired. If you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night often and it's not because you need to drink water or go to the bathroom, then it may be a sleep cycle disruption caused by accumulated fatigue.
4. Bad breath, body odor, herpes and acne
When the body falls into a state of hidden fatigue, metabolic levels may decrease significantly, which will have a series of knock-on effects.
For example, when saliva production decreases, bacteria multiply rapidly in the mouth, which can break down food debris in the mouth and cause bad breath. Nutrients are not fully metabolized and are excreted through the skin in the form of sweat, interacting with bacteria on the skin, producing an unpleasant body odor.
As the body's condition continues to decline, the immune system will also be significantly reduced, leading to inflammation. This is often accompanied by skin problems such as acne, acne, and in severe cases, skin conditions such as blisters.

How to deal with "hidden fatigue"?
1Sleep is the best way to recharge
Quality sleep is the best way to recharge and rejuvenate. It is recommended to establish a regular sleep schedule according to actual needs and daily routines.
2. Proper relaxation to reduce energy consumption
Proper relaxation slows down the build-up of fatigue and gives the body and brain a short break to free them from tension and rejuvenate.
It should be noted that relaxing is not the same as taking time to play games and watch videos. In fact, preoccupying your games and watching videos will only make your fatigue accumulate.
A truly effective rest is to do something with low information input and low energy consumption, such as standing for a stop to move your muscles and bones, taking a walk away from the world of the screen, looking at the blue sky and green grass outside the window, and hugging your intimate child lover.
