Fatigue

Are you exhausted despite getting enough sleep? Finding your energy never fully recovers? Your dysregulated nervous system might be draining your vitality.

Why am I so tired?

What feels like constant fatigue is often a sign of nervous system dysregulation. When your nervous system is stuck in sympathetic dominance (fight/flight/freeze response), it exhausts your body's energy resources at a cellular level. This shows up as:

Physical exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix
Low energy despite adequate rest and nutrition
Feeling "wired but tired" - exhausted but unable to relax
Delayed recovery from minor physical or mental exertion
Morning fatigue even after a full night's sleep
Decreased resilience to daily stressors

Nervous system dysregulation creates fatigue

Fatigue develops when your nervous system is stuck in sympathetic dominance (fight/flight/freeze). This creates energy depletion through several mechanisms:

Mitochondrial Burnout

Problem ➜ Your mitochondria (cellular power plants) are forced to operate in emergency mode constantly. This is like running your car engine at full throttle without breaks - eventually, fuel efficiency plummets and performance suffers.

Symptom ➜ Deep physical and mental fatigue that persists regardless of rest or sleep.

Adrenaline Exhaustion

Problem ➜ Being stuck in fight/flight mode forces your body to produce stress hormones continuously. Like overusing an emergency generator, this depletes your body's hormoneproducing capacity.

Symptom ➜ Feeling "wired but tired" - exhausted but unable to fully relax.

Digestive Dysfunction

Problem ➜ Sympathetic dominance redirects blood flow away from digestive organs, impairing nutrient absorption and energy production from food.

Symptom ➜ Low energy after eating, digestive discomfort, and inability to derive sustained energy from meals.

Sleep Disruption

Problem ➜ High stress hormones interfere with your natural sleep-wake cycle, preventing the deep restorative sleep needed for energy recovery.

Symptom ➜ Waking unrefreshed despite adequate hours of sleep, difficulty staying asleep, or feeling "tired but wired" at bedtime.

Immune System Drain

Problem ➜ Chronic stress response suppresses immune function while increasing inflammation, creating a constant energy drain on your system

Symptom ➜ Frequent illness, slow recovery from minor ailments, and persistent low-grade fatigue.

Blood Sugar Instability

Problem ➜ Sympathetic dominance disrupts blood sugar regulation, creating energy crashes and unstable fuel supply to your cells.

Symptom ➜ Energy crashes, especially mid-afternoon, cravings for caffeine or sugar, and difficulty maintaining stable energy levels.

The impact of fatigue

Fatigue isn't just about feeling tired - it has profound effects on health, work, and quality of life.
