I Thought I Was Fine.
But I Wasn’t.
A while back I was scrolling through random screens on my Apple Watch.
I wasn’t looking for answers.
I wasn’t looking for anything at all.
Then I saw my sleep data.
Not one bad night.
Not one bad week.
Month after month.
Three hours.
Four hours.
Three and a half.
Over and over again.
I sat there staring at the screen realizing something I hadn’t noticed while I was living it.
I had adapted to exhaustion.
The strange thing about exhaustion is that it doesn’t always announce itself.
Sometimes it moves in quietly.
It becomes routine.
Then normal.
Then invisible.
I was still working.
Still building.
Still solving problems.
Still showing up every day.
So I assumed I was fine.
I wasn’t.
Human beings can normalize almost anything if they live inside it long enough.
Even things that are hurting them.
Especially things that are hurting them.
What happens when exhaustion stops feeling like exhaustion?
