Our reading
In our reading, behind constant tiredness there often lies less a real sleep deficit than dissatisfaction or boredom – a lack of joy for what is happening right now. An overload of stimuli too plays a role: whoever burdens themselves ceaselessly with news, catastrophes and other people’s problems tires in soul. Whoever, by contrast, finds a meaning and their own fulfilling tasks often feels more awake. Unprocessed emotional burdens (such as grief) can likewise lead to a “switching off”.
What does that mean in practice?
- Look at one’s own media consumption and the question of meaning; begin something new, go among people.
- Attend to restful sleep, movement and real breaks.
