Why You Are Always Exhausted (It’s Not Lack of Sleep)

You sleep 8 hours, but you still wake up tired. The coffee doesn't help. The weekend isn't enough. If you feel constantly drained, the problem isn't your body—it's your brain. In this video essay, we explore the psychology behind chronic exhaustion in the modern world. It’s not just physical fatigue; it’s a "weariness of the soul." We discuss how dopamine overstimulation, decision fatigue, and emotional burnout are silently draining your energy, and what you can actually do to fix it. We explore: Why "rest" is not the same as "sleep." The science of Dopamine Depletion. The concept of "Decision Fatigue" and how it paralyzes you. Practical steps to reclaim your mental energy. It’s time to wake up. #psychology #burnout #mentalhealth #dopamine #selfimprovement #exhaustion #videoessay
