The Slow Exhaustion of Men Over 40 Has a Name

Image
Somewhere in your 40s, a strange kind of tired sets in. You’re not sick. You’re not overworked in any new way. But mornings get heavier, and your focus flickers like an old lightbulb. Recovery from workouts takes longer. Even the things that used to energize you like sleep, movement, or time off stop hitting the reset button. It’s not quite burnout.
