Fatigue Risk 2025: The Energy Crisis

76% of workers report regular fatigue. Chronic exhaustion costs $136 billion/year in lost productivity. Use our tool to measure fatigue, burnout, adrenal fatigue and recovery capacity.

Fatigue Types

Key Risk Factors

• Sleep <7 hrs: 3x fatigue risk
• Work >50 hrs/week: 35% burnout
• High stress: Cortisol ↑ 50%
• No recovery days: Adrenal crash
• Caffeine >3 cups: Rebound fatigue

Energy Equation

Energy = (Sleep × Quality) + Exercise + Recovery – (Work + Stress + Caffeine)

Adrenal Fatigue Stages

• Stage 1: Wired but tired
• Stage 2: Stressed and fatigued
• Stage 3: Burned out
• Stage 4: Total exhaustion

Recovery Science

• HRV: High = good recovery
• 1 full rest day/week: 40% fatigue ↓
• Micro-breaks: 5 min/hr = 25% energy ↑
• Sleep consistency: ±30 min bedtime

Work-Life Balance

• Japan: Karoshi (death by overwork)
• 4-day week trials: 38% less burnout
• Remote work: 22% higher fatigue if no boundaries

Nutrition & Fatigue

• B12 deficiency: 40% of vegans
• Iron low: 30% women
• Magnesium: 60% deficient
• Dehydration: 2% = 20% performance ↓

Fix Your Energy

1. Sleep 7–9 hrs same time
2. Work ≤45 hrs/week
3. 2 recovery days
4. Exercise 150 min/week
5. Stress tools: Meditation, nature
6. Caffeine before 2pm

Warning Signs

• Morning dread
• Caffeine dependency
• Memory fog
• Immune crashes

Science Facts

• 1 hr sleep debt = 1 day aging
• Napping 20 min = 34% performance ↑
• Cortisol peak 6–8am
• Blue light delays melatonin 3 hrs
