NOTE

Differentiating Between Real Fatigue and Fake Fatigue and Why It Matters

Fake fatigue and real fatigue have distinct differences and require different responses. Real fatigue is when you're physiologically tired and need to rest. Fake fatigue feels the same, but there's no underlying biological reason for it. For fake fatigue, you need to force yourself into action to have a chance at feeling good. It's like breaking inertia. Sometimes real fatigue can turn into fake fatigue, and in that case, you need to jolt your system by taking on a new project or doing a workout. Elite athletes follow a similar approach by resting before big events but adding intense efforts to wake their bodies up and get back into momentum.
