The 5 Types of Tiredness

(bright music) – [Narrator] Hey, Psych2Goers, and welcome back to our channel. Thank you all so much for the love and support that you’ve given us. Your ongoing support has helped us make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. Now, let’s continue. Have you ever heard of the phrase, I need to recharge my batteries? While this phrase isn’t meant to be taken literally, it’s just another way of saying that you need time to sit back, relax, and tend to your personal needs.Do you often overwork yourself and push yourself past your limits unintentionally? If so, it’s important to be wary of the consequences it can bring. Tiredness is like a cry for help from our body and mind that’s trying to tell us there’s something wrong. This is why it’s important not to neglect or immediately disregard our feelings when first trying to understand them. In this video, we’ll help you identify the five types of tiredness you may experience. Number one is social tiredness. Have you ever felt drained or overwhelmed as a result of too much socialization, whether it’s in person or online? You could be dealing with social tiredness, also known as social fatigue.This might especially ring a bell if you’re a more introverted person, but this doesn’t mean extroverts can’t experience social exhaustion either. Social fatigue doesn’t necessarily happen when you’re around people you don’t like. Even after enjoying a long day with friends and family or going to dinner with your significant other, you can still feel worn out and in need of some alone time. Two, physical tiredness. Physical exhaustion is what you might feel after playing a sport or even after mustering up the energy to get out of bed in the morning. Because you feel it in your body, this makes physical tiredness one of the most noticeable and identifiable of its kind, as well as one of the most common. This kind of weariness may also be a result of a lack of sleep or a poor diet. When you’re physically tired, you feel sore and heavy, and your tiredness will show through yawns, dreary-looking eyes, or sluggish movement. Number three is emotional tiredness. As humans, we can feel emotions on various, complex levels. For instance, a child dropping their ice cream on the sidewalk might not trigger the same measure of emotions as an adult who’s lost a loved one.Sadness, hopelessness and fear are all emotions you’ll face throughout life’s obstacles but eventually learn to overcome. Are you dealing with an overwhelming and stressful situation for a long period, such as an emotionally abusive relationship or a toxic friendship? Prolonged stress can cause emotional exhaustion to set in. Emotional tiredness can affect your energy levels, as well as the stamina you rely on to check things off your to-do lists. Number four is mental tiredness. Do you ever have one of those days where your mind feels cloudy and you’re unable to concentrate? Mental tiredness affects your thinking and behavior, including how you make decisions and your performance at work or school.Even your long-term and short-term memory can be affected. Mental exhaustion is caused by prolonged stress and working yourself past your limits. As a result, this brings about certain behavior changes, such as social withdrawal or neglecting your responsibilities. And number five, burnout. Burnout is a combination of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that gradually builds up over time. Being in a state of burnout can make you feel as if everything you do serves no purpose, causing you to question the point of putting effort into work, school, or your personal goals in the first place. Burnout makes it hard to see and enjoy the good things in life because every day feels like a bad day for you, and life’s constant demands can put even more weight on your shoulders. Because it creeps up on you over time, it’s not easy to pinpoint the start of your burnout, but you’ll know when you feel the extreme level of overall exhaustion.Can you relate to any of these five types of tiredness?

What Coronavirus Stress Is Doing To Your Brain And Body

 Abby Tang: How are you feeling? Graham Flanagan: I played that song, ♪ You had a bad day ♪ Alex Appolonia: I wrote down some points because my brain is like mush lately. Fran Lam: Sad, worried, stressed. Victoria Barranco: Physically, like all of the negative emotions. Abby: This probably sounds super familiar, and that’s because a lot of us are feeling stressed right now. But this isn’t normal stress. This is pandemic stress, and it is messing with our brains in a particular way. When you get stressed, it triggers a chain reaction that starts in the amygdala, your emotional-processing headquarters. Your eyes and ears send info to the amygdala, and it determines if what you’re seeing and hearing is stressful. If it is, it sends a signal to your command center, the hypothalamus. It’s in charge of getting the word out to the rest of your body by way of the autonomic nervous system. The adrenal glands get the message first and pump adrenaline into your bloodstream. Your heart beats faster; you breathe more rapidly because your muscles need extra blood and your brain needs extra oxygen. They’re preparing to react to whatever threat is causing your stress response. All of this happens in the blink of an eye. It’s like how people can jump out of the way of a car without really thinking about it. The emotional amygdala overrides your prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain where all the logic happens. So you don’t get a chance to think things through; you just react. Once the threat dies down, though, the parasympathetic nervous system takes over and returns all those heightened reactions to normal. But if the brain still detects danger after the initial adrenaline rush, the hypothalamus sends out another message to the rest of the HPA axis. This triggers another series of hormones that lead to the release of cortisol, which signals to the body that it needs to stay on high alert and keep pumping out stress hormones. Right now for a lot of us, that threat is still very much alive. The amygdala is still overriding the prefrontal cortex, which is in charge of decision-making and planning. So those feelings of forgetfulness and tiredness, they’re likely a product of this stress response that won’t turn off. Stress hormones and the accompanying bodily responses are super helpful in the short term, but our bodies aren’t meant to function in this heightened state for weeks or months at a time. And over time, your brain will burn out. When it does, it can lead to allostatic load, the cumulative wear, and tear that happens to your body when you’re dealing with chronic stress. A high, prolonged cortisol level can mess with a lot of stuff. It’s even been seen to decrease the volume of your hippocampus, the area responsible for learning and memory, and a reduced hippocampus is more often seen in people with depression than those without. So all this is to say that the extra stress is probably not doing your brain or your body any favors. And humans are historically bad at making decisions when they don’t know what’s going to happen? So, what can you do to reduce the allostatic load? Reduce stress. Eating well, exercising, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule cannot be overlooked. Exercising alone can reduce stress hormones, even with just a 20-minute walk. And a different way of thinking could also help us: an idea called model-free learning. It’s trial and error. Instead of basing your risk assessment on similar examples from the past or envisioning future scenarios, you just take it one step at a time. This way, you reassess and update your estimate of what’s happening and how to prepare. We’re dealing with a new virus, constantly changing policies, and likely a completely different schedule and maybe even environment. Our brain is on high alert at all times to identify potential threats. This means that even if you’re spending most of your time laying around, your brain isn’t, so try not to beat yourself up for feeling tired or fuzzy, or unmotivated. You just don’t need anything else to stress about. Now that you know all of this, how are you feeling? Alex: To be honest, I do still feel the same. Fran: I think I’m feeling a bit better after watching it. Victoria: It’s my body is exhausted from feeling things and being under stress all day, all the time. Graham: Whenever I feel that allostatic load starting to weigh down on me, you know, I can put a name on it, a face on it, and it makes it a lot easier to deal with it.As found on YouTubeAnimationStudio ꆛ☣ꐕ Be The “Middle Man” And Profit With AnimationStudio Agency License.
