You’re sleeping enough. You’re not even that busy. So why do you still feel tired?
In this episode of Bitesize Talks, Joeru talks about a feeling many people know well: being tired even when it seems like you haven’t done much. From checking our phones all day to “resting” by watching more videos and lying in bed with a busy mind, he reflects on why modern life can make it so difficult to truly rest.
