Like physical fatigue, prolonged mental exertion can lead to cognitive exhaustion.
As soon as you notice fatigue, it is necessary to stop working and give your mind a rest - sometimes even 15 minutes is enough for the brain to burn off energy and restore strength.
Relax and notice in which part of the body you feel tension, pressure.
We recommend:
- Turn off the computer or other electrical devices and close your eyes;
- Reduce the light in the room - sometimes the cause of discomfort is bright light;
- Avoid noise as much as possible;
- Lie down if possible.
For prevention, it is recommended:
- A quiet sleep at night;
- Make a task plan and follow it step by step - do not take on more than your assigned responsibilities, neither at work nor in your personal life;
- Never refuse to take your vacation and relax on weekends;
- Exercise regularly;
- Take a walk in the fresh air.
