The Psychology of Being Tired All the Time

Slept 8 hours and still exhausted? Coffee stops working by 3 p.m., and at 11 at night you're suddenly wide awake? You're not broken. In this video we look at what the research says about why you're always tired: why your body clock gets jet-lagged every weekend, why we steal time from our own sleep, the coffee trap, why moving gives you energy instead of using it up, and how a little water beats the afternoon slump. Then you get a simple 7-day energy reset. What time did you actually go to bed last night? Be honest in the comments. This video is about everyday tiredness, not medical advice. If you've been tired for weeks without a clear reason, talk to a doctor. 0:00 8 hours of sleep and still tired 0:52 Reason 1: your body is jet-lagged 3:33 Reason 2: stealing time from sleep 4:52 Reason 3: the coffee trap 5:49 Reason 4: too tired to move 6:40 Reason 5: a little bit thirsty 7:52 The 7-day energy reset 10:27 Recap More from Cognify Circuit: why you can't focus anymore, and why you procrastinate.
