Novelty Rule & Connection Benefits

Ever sleep in on a Saturday and still wake up exhausted? Or finally take that vacation you’ve been dreaming about, only to come back feeling like you need another one? Or maybe you cancel all your plans to stay home and rest, and somehow end up feeling even worse. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. So I got curious (as I do) and dove into the research. Turns out, there are actually four totally different types of tired: Input Tired, Emotionally Tired, Physiologically Tired, and Existentially Tired.

If we don’t know what kind of tired we’re dealing with, we end up throwing the wrong solutions at it—and then wonder why nothing actually helps. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to figure out exactly what kind of tired you are, so you can finally get the kind of rest that makes you feel energized again. Because you deserve to feel GOOD, not just a little less tired.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• Why you still feel exhausted after a full night's sleep and exactly what to do about it
• The 4 different types of tired, plus how to identify which one you’re experiencing
• How to know if the type of rest you’re reaching for won’t make you feel better
• Research-supported fixes for each type of tired and my favorite ways to feel rested and recharged 
• How to re-balance your dopamine without going cold-turkey on screens
• Why existential exhaustion is valid and increasingly common—plus two evidence-backed antidotes
• A simple daily practice that makes life feel richer and more energizing
