Nervous fatigue as warning symptom of stress

NERVOUS FATIGUE AS WARNING SYMPTOM OF STRESS

Ť Tired. Just plain tired. That does not seem a news item. I suppose half the people of the world are tired. Some are sick. Anemic and all that. But most are tired because they do a lot. Me, robust health. Not doing much at all. But tired, painfully tired. Worry. Yes. I worry a lot about this problem. But how can that make you tired? ť
It is common experience that people under stress get tired. The usual explanation is that extra energy is used up by the over-alerted nerve cells. This explanation is not really valid because nerve cells use very little energy.
Our body has innumerable self-regulating mechanisms that work rather like the governor of a steam engine that keeps it from going neither too fast nor too slow. If our nerve cells are too active, a regulating process comes into play to damp down this over-activity. However, this dampening down may over-swing, as it were, so that the effect spreads out to other groups of nerve cells, and there comes about a general dampening down of nervous activity. The result is that it is hard to get ourselves going, which is accompanied by the subjective feeling of fatigue. We are tired although we have not done very much at all. Tired because of our body's attempt to control the effects of stress.
