Always Five Steps Ahead: Why Your Brain Won't Switch Off

Exhausted But Can't Slow Down? Here's What's Actually Going On
You’re exhausted, but slowing down feels almost impossible. Even when you have time to rest, your mind keeps working, your body stays on alert, or you find yourself doing just one more thing.

It can be a deeply ingrained pattern of staying busy, prepared, productive, and in control, and understanding that pattern can be the first step toward doing things differently.
