How’s your day? Do you wake up roaring to go? By lunchtime are you ready for a nap? Does the 2 to 4 pm sag hit you? Are you tired or are you fatigued? Is there a difference? Is there a difference that matters? The words “tired” and “fatigued” are often used interchangeably, but there are very fundamental physiological, mental and emotional differences in causation, effect and remediation. A long day on the slopes, a long day at the office, a long day doing almost anything, and you feel tired. A change from “doing” to “not doing” brings revitalization; resting, relaxing, a good meal, a night’s sleep and you are ready for another day of doing.
