Do you sleep for hours, rest, and still feel completely drained? Sometimes exhaustion isn’t only physical. Mental and emotional stress can also leave you feeling tired, overwhelmed, and unable to fully recharge. In this video, Christina Worthing, Registered Psychologist at In Step Physical Therapy, explains five reasons you may still feel exhausted after resting: 🧠 An activated nervous system – Worry and overthinking can make it harder to feel recharged. 💭 Emotional stress – Ongoing stress can affect sleep, concentration, motivation, and energy. 🌿 Rest vs. recovery – True recovery can involve mental breaks, emotional regulation, movement, connection, and healthy sleep habits. 🔥 Burnout – Constant fatigue, irritability, low motivation, and difficulty concentrating can build gradually. 💙 Stress held in the body – Chronic stress can contribute to physical tension, mental fog, and emotional exhaustion.
