When it comes to exhaustion most of us know well enough how we got there: running ourselves ragged day in and day out, pushing through when we’re running on empty, burning the candle with not enough sleep or poor quality of sleep, stress and/or anxiety, shift work… and the list goes on.
Our remedies are also well-enough known as we reach for caffeine, sugar and other stimulants to propel ourselves to get through the day before collapsing on the couch for a dose of television or scrolling through social media before bed at night. Do these scenarios sound familiar?
