Some tiredness has nothing to do with sleep. It comes from a full day of faces, small talk, and being watched, and it needs a different kind of rest to fix it. This is a guide to that particular quiet: why people-tired feels different from body-tired, how much recovery time actually restores you, what to do with the guilt of needing to withdraw, and simple ways to protect your evenings without explaining yourself to anyone. Gentle, understanding, and genuinely restful.
