You’re Not Tired - You’re Overstimulated

Globally, adults now spend an average of about 6 hours and 45 minutes a day on screens, and in the U.S., the average is just over 7 hours. Now, do the math.
That’s more than 100 days a year spent looking at screens. A third of your life gone to pixels, pings, endless scrolling, and information you don’t even need.
You wake up already tired. You push through the day with coffee, check one thing off after another, and collapse at night - but even then, your mind won’t stop.
The truth is, you’re not tired - you’re overstimulated.
Our every moment is filled with screens, updates, and noise. Even when you sit still, your thoughts keep running, because you’re no longer in control of what you consume. The information finds you, not the other way around, designed to keep you hooked, scrolling for more, unable to disconnect.
It’s not more rest you need - it’s recovery. Your body is built for rhythm: focus and calm, effort and release. But when life becomes one long sprint, there’s no room to reset.
That constant buzz of stimulation leaves you drained, and not because you’re lazy, but because you’ve forgotten what stillness feels like.
You don’t need another energy hack or new routine. You need fewer inputs. Less noise. More space.
Before you try to do more, ask what you can let go of. Because you’re not broken - just disconnected.
Calm isn’t something to chase. It’s something to come back to.
